Well this is sure to be an interesting one and will no doubt spark up some comments - Zarathustra is an in-development point and click adventure that looks intriguing but the way it's made will raise some eyebrows.
I have to admit…it does look pretty good but it's made with AI tools. Which in many ways, opens a big can of worms. Not just AI giving a bit of a hand, but a lot of it was done thanks to AI. The developer, Tim Rachor, doesn't hide it either and states it clearly on the itch.io page that "Most of the Art was created with Dall E 3 and the voice over comes from https://elevenlabs.io/".

The developer said only the first day in-game is available, and they will continue it if people show interest for them to carry it on. They say it's a "rather casual experience with no dead-ends or overly difficult puzzles".
Find it on the itch.io page.
What do you think to this one?
AI will just throw that away, yet another step versus the flat(er) future world.
Please, don't buy that; If you're running out of good stories, read a book full of words (written by a human).
"built on the backs of real farm workers!"
"Look at all the nicks and dings in those tractor harvested potatoes!"
etc..
Still the farm workers found other employment, and the world kept turning.
And yeah the "AI" is coming for my job too as a programmer - it will either be a miserable failure or I'll find other employment. The world will keep on spinning. ;)
Quoting: Guppyevery new teknologi that comes along encounters this, imagine if farm workers had the internet to voice their dismay on back when tractors first appeared:Believe it or not, the whole mechanized agriculture model is still controversial. Lot of juries are out about the net impact there, which is still creating slums, eroding soil, destroying rural communities and associated with overuse of chemicals to this day.

So that's not necessarily a reassuring analogy.

So you're saying that comparing two groups of workers whose work and the products thereof have traditionally been undervalued, and in the modern age are being forced out by corporate (or wearing the "corporate-funded nonprofit" figleaf) interests is apt after all?
And yeah, from all indications from actual programmers who have looked into it, despite wild claims AI ain't coming for the programmers any time soon. But those fatcat illustrators living in luxury, they better look out.
