AI this, AI that - you can't go anywhere without something trying to force AI on you. Usually a company trying to get you to buy into what they've wasted billions on. So indie devs have begun fighting back with their No Gen AI Seal.

    What if they use it as part of the art tho?

    Like a horror game that uses an AI to just slightly tweak an image of the paintings in a haunted building continuously everytime you look past them to look just 1% creepier?

      That’s an interesting enough idea in theory, so here’s my take on it, in case you want one.

      Yes, it sounds magical, but:

      • AI sucks at make it more X. It doesn’t understand scary, so you’ll get worse crops of the training data, not meaningful changes.
      • It’s prohibitively expensive and unfeasible for the majority of consumer hardware.
      • Even if it gets a thousand times cheaper and better at its job, is GenAI really the best way to do this?
      • Is it the only one? Are alternatives also built on exploitation? If they aren’t, I think you should reconsider.

      Would the feature in that horror game Zort where you sometimes use the player respon item and it respons an NPC that will use clips of what a specific dead player has said while playing count as AI use? If so, that’s a pretty good use of AI in horror games in my opinion.
