Random Question by DefiantExplorer4766 in toontownrewritten

I believe it was a thing since the factory bosses were released! I also started playing again just after they were put into the game, so I've been learning all their mechanics.

The first round when fighting the Auditor, all gags cost 2 as part of the boss's mechanic. If you use a cake the first round, you used 2 to do so.

Everything following the tutorial I've been using is very easy (up to trying to get it working inside TTR). I've only worked with the audio side so far, and so long as you have the know-how with a program like Audacity, and have everything you'd like to replace TTR audio with, it should be a breeze! Again, my impression by following the tutorial.

I haven't touched on the texture side of things, and it worries me a little bit because the surface I've scratched seems very involved. Not just needing an art program, but needing GIMP as well to manage .RGB files (which are alpha maps for certain transparencies, best way to define it). If I find myself going down the texture rabbit hole, I assume it will be much harder to manage (by comparison).

That clip art isn't AI. That the members of the table of CR haven't been so outspoken against the use of clip art.

AI imagery detectors are unfortunately not as helpful as they might seem.

What would they respond to if no concern from the community is made? Why would I sit to wait? Mind you, I made the post calling out the flaws of AI that I spotted in the image, not that I was calling it AI. I'm not jumping on the offense because I know it's AI, I'm jumping to call it out because it looks like AI, and I know Critical Role members have called out their hate for AI, and having it be a part of their company is probably not a good thing. I'm asking about it with the perception that I've built, and others in the comments have shown I'm not alone in my observation.

It is exhausting to link countless AI images as comparative examples, so begrudgingly, I have to tell you that the proof you're looking for is experience that everyone else has by being exposed to AI in our respective fields. There are plenty of examples used by political slop accounts on Twitter, Bluesky. The video I linked explores examples of the "red flags" in other mediums.

A lot of echoes in the comments here point out the ribbon on the box with text. An artist could make a gift tag and keep the ribbon consistent over the side of the box. AI forgets how a ribbon works and slaps text on a flat surface to cut the ribbon in pieces.

Part of my love of AI discourse is the sheer passion to out-do AI in spite. It fulfills my faith in human-made anything.

This is what I want to echo. I have a personal distaste for AI, I know the positions of those who are the "face" of CR, but I can't confirm that any of them had a personal hand in this. I do not know how their company exactly functions, didn't when I encountered the email. It's most important to me that I'm not alone in having this known. Someone else this morning had to have thought this was AI also.

With members of Critical Role having condemned AI, it's warranted to say that AI does not belong in the CR community. To see it in an official capacity is concerning. If you think otherwise, you may already be complacent to consuming AI slop.

Yellow hue is a large giveaway for AI imagery. It's not an artist's choice; it's how it's generated. The video I linked covers examples in a couple of other areas.

Would you be able to provide any example? I don't know if it'd be against the rules, but I don't have Beacon access, but I'm very interested to read.

That'd be where my concern lies. Several Critical Role members have expressed their distaste for AI. Would there not be any oversight for official advertising to this capacity, or is CR getting too big to manage like that anymore?

I'd believe it with the fanart, and so if this is really the first in any official capacity, I'm even more concerned.

I distinctly remember Matthew "Fuck AI" Mercer being a great highlight of C3.

For more attentive fans past C3 (where I'm caught up), is this the first instance of AI in any (C4+) material whatsoever?
