Great news for neurodivergent zombie game enjoyers - after like 3 years the new unstable build was finally released today. I'm sad because I keep getting black screens on game start which freeze my computer (seems to be a common problem I later learned), so I decided to check out the subreddit to see if anyone else is having the same issue. No joke there are dozens of threads of just 
over the 3 new loading screens. The mods are censoring most of the sneeding but you can see more and more threads on new for a few mins before they get nuked. Apparently the indie store groomercord is going ballistic too and there are "people" posting massive essays of schitzo shit over the AI slop. 
They are SO mad at anyone that disagrees with them. Supposedly this is the same artist that did the main menu art in 2011 which is kind of weird.

I wonder when we will hit the point of redditors just giving up about crying over AI constantly, it's not going anywhere. They seem to want to put the genie back in the bottle when it's already so widespread with open weight models released that it is very literally impossible to get ai "shutdown" like they want.

It reminds me of vegans who get angry at other vegans for eating honey or oysters or whatever.
I was going to write a longpost elaborating but I'm done pooping, so
@Bussy-boy will have to explain the analogy for me.

Ok so they compare vegans to the guy who doesn't eat honey. I also believe that people who are vegan are similar to vegans who don't eat honey, in the sense they are also eating honey behind closed doors and still call themselves vegan. That makes sense because you don't want people who can't see what your doing to get in the way of your goals.

They say vegans are bad, they want to be vegan, but they never are.
I say vegans are bad, I don't want to be vegan, I'm not

fwiw I was, at one point, a vegan who didn't eat honey and I genuinely did not eat any honey ever.

I mean they should at the very least spend 5 minutes fixing artifacts and making sure it's consistent with the art style
This is just lazy Ai or not
The stuff you do is high effort

Yea, I don't mind it but it's distracting when it's just raw generations used.
The new sins of a solar empire has a bunch of AI art that has no consistency to them.

Neurodivergents, and they are the core demographic of this game

Yeah only neurodivergents play zomboid. It's a very high barrier of entry for normal people compared to other zombie games.

Redditors love a witch hunt. They'll stop sneeding over AI art only when they can invent a new purity test.

I mean Redditors will never stop complaining about it, but you're right in that normal people will accept it more and more.
Hopefully we'll reach a point where indie game devs can use it without fear of any pushback. It could be an issue if your game is for a niche fandom that also just randomly decided AI isn't okay

Eh honestly, I don't really care but I do find it annoying when gamedevs use AI art since AIslop tends to make things look really generic so you end up feeling less cool schizoindie videogame art, which is honestly kind of sad since it means games're just gonna start looking way more generic. Forever.

They will all eventually shut the frick up about it until its occasional grumbles. But it will still be a few more years, and AI needs to stop fricking faces and hands up first
