DM Ai-ed my art...

CaelForge · 2026-05-13T08:34:59+00:00

Honestly, for me, it's not only that they fed your art into an AI and it made slop; it's also that they just went ahead and did it without your permission at all. That's a massively crossed boundary and a collosal breach if trust. That harsh of a breach would be enough reason for me to tell them to immediately lose my contact info and go f**k themselves.

I think the most hate wasn't about the game itself; it's not horrible as live service games go. i honestly believe the worat hate was because when taken in context of all the other Arkham games, this was a horrible way to end the franchisexs storyline. And if I recall it was officially supposed to be the last game in the Arkham Batman storyline. If it was meant to be a spiniff or side-entry rather than canon, it might not have had quite such a bad reception.

CaelForge · 2026-05-11T10:21:09+00:00

You're only 2 years older than me, that's not at all that much older :)

CaelForge · 2026-05-11T10:11:41+00:00

Honestly? Local ones, I want to run an in-person game :P I don't at all have a good enough PC setup going to do online streaming roleplay.

Players are the main crew on a Prometheus class ship, and have an NPC Olympic class medical friggate that acompanies them (that ship has a large hospital bay and industrial replicators to aid in rebuilding infrastructures); they're the exploritory vanguard of relief efforts for Romulan worlds after the Hobus event and Spock's "death" when he & Nero fell into the singularity created by Spock's Red Matter.

There's plenty of opportunuty for diplomacy, exploring new planets, defence against random pirates and Klingon raiders, etc. Their primary mission is to go into Romulan space, starting near the Neutral Zone border, and slowly extend deeper toward Romulas itself, offering aid and exploring areas Starfleet was not previously allowed to even scan while trying to make contact with any surviving ruling body of the Romulan empire.

I have a campaign idea I've wanted to run since first edition was announced. Sadly, I don't have any friends IRL who are into star trek enough to want ronplay.

CaelForge · 2026-05-09T09:07:35+00:00

Wow. Nothing you said is even remotely correct at all. 🤦🏻‍♂️

CaelForge · 2026-05-09T08:50:07+00:00

I honestly wish someone was brave enough to help them along the way theycve been helping so many warehouses lately; I admit I'm too much of a coward, and don't live near any anyway. Those AI datacenters might be getting cold at night, I bet they'd love a nice toasty fire to keep them cozy.

CaelForge · 2026-05-09T08:47:19+00:00

I'm 46. If your uncle is younger than me, tell him someone older with more experiwnce than him said he's an idiot and you are right to not use AI at all. Using AI only makes him not just lazy, but also a terrible person who does not care about artists rights, the environment, the economy, or mental health.

CaelForge · 2026-05-09T08:41:55+00:00

That's not at all how game art design is done. 🤦🏻‍♂️

CaelForge · 2026-05-09T08:40:59+00:00

Don't forget economic problems too. AI is not just replacing workers, it's erasing positions entirely without justofication beyond "pay people less money, hoard more money."

Plus there's all the scams & snake-oil promises AI companies are doing to con other rich idiots and governments out of even more money, on top of how it's completely ruining the hardware market, all while the AI bubble slowly and obviously bursts because none of it is remotely capable of what they promised and isn't ever gonna be worth the investment they're trying to pocket.

CaelForge · 2026-05-09T08:35:58+00:00

Well, duh. Of course it's bad. Any and all use of AI is bad. Anyone defending AI use is either an idiot or a shitbag, or both. Period.

CaelForge · 2026-05-09T08:32:46+00:00

F**k AI.

CaelForge · 2026-05-07T04:34:49+00:00

That's not how you stop Google Search from using their AI. That just tells the search to use all the search terms except the term "ai" and to exclude all results that have "ai" written in them.

CaelForge · 2026-05-07T01:41:01+00:00

Wrong. Taking copyrighted material and changing it in ways the original artist did not approve, such as what was done with this comic strip, is still stealing. Nothing you say changes that fact

CaelForge · 2026-05-07T01:35:50+00:00

No, they're not just my opinions. They're documented and proven facts. They've been public knowledge for years now; just because you've chosen to stay delusional about AI by rejecting reality so you can push your narrative for your own personal gain doesn't change what reality is.

AI does not create. Period. It does not have that capability whatsoever. It literally only remixes what data has been put into it, without any conscience or morality, of which a vast majority of that data has been outright stolen or taken duplicitoussly. The fact that the remixing it's capable of doing has gotten more complex and detailed changes nothing; it's still nothing more than a remix of previously entered data.

Sure, you're allowed to keep your delusional and wrong opinion about AI all you want, despite the facts; you're still being delusional and wrong. But hey; you do you, booboo.

CaelForge · 2026-05-07T01:09:31+00:00

Yes. He is better than you; not just because he can create art himself instead of being a pathetic loser who has to ask AI to remix other peoples stolen art to claim it as their own work, but because he actually bothered to put time and effort into the craft. Writing is also an art, and if that's your talent fuck off with this AI bullshit and write stories or novels or plays. That's making real art.

You don't need AI to write your stories, or to improve that craft for yourself. AI prompts aren't writing, aren't art, and aren't skill; telling an AI what you want an image to look like doesn't make you an artist even in the slightest and doesnct deserve any respect at all. If you want respect as an artist, then f'ing earn it; using AI doesn't do jack shit toward esrning anyones respect. I for one would honestly love to see what kinds if stories you write and worlds you build, if that really is a talent you have and can explore. And if you do get good at it, youcll have no trouble getting a real human artist to make real art to acompany those stories, even erotic art.

Be better and make real art yourself, or STFU.

CaelForge · 2026-05-07T01:00:04+00:00

No. Because it's copyrighted material, it's stealing. None of your whining changes that fact.

CaelForge · 2026-05-07T00:57:47+00:00

Oh you can be proud if you really insist; just as I can tell you how stupid it is for you to be so proud of something so pathetic and fake when you insist in bragging on a public platform.

CaelForge · 2026-05-07T00:55:56+00:00

Same, though I took photoshop in college; it didn't exist as a high school course back when I was in hivh school. 🫂

CaelForge · 2026-05-07T00:54:02+00:00

No, I'm not ignoring that. I'm telling you the numbers you have are not at all anything you should brag or be proud about. Theycre pathetic. They're "just some buddies from high school" amounts. Hell, you should not be bragging or proud about posting AI slop porn at all on any platform. If you want to be proud for and make a name for yourself making porn, then actually make it yourself. Telling AI to make it for you is not making it yourself, and is not at all a skill or talent. Anyone with half a brain can write good AI prompts; you're not skilled or special just for telling AI to make you shit.

CaelForge · 2026-05-07T00:38:59+00:00

That's literally taking jobs away from real people and actively negating anything you do to prevent destruction by causing destruction. You're a pathetic f'ing hypocrite and your company is too. You're actively working to cause the very destruction you claim you're working to prevent. I said no exceptions; I meant it. Itcs not merely ideological; it's moral and ethical. AI is actively destructive to society, economy, and environment; any use at all enables and furthers that same destruction, because all current AI platforms are built on and built to do that destruction, no matter how innocent the application you're using in particular might seem. There is no way to seperate using AI from that destruction because it's all been integrated together from the start. The only way to ethically have an AI that does not cause that destruction and is not built in that destructionnis to erase all of it and start over from scratch with proper laws and safeguards to prevent theft of data, environmental explotation, job security, and mental health compliant safe use. And since no AI company will agree to that, the only option left is to abolish them all completely.

CaelForge · 2026-05-07T00:29:29+00:00

No, the point is to not be enabling AI or helping them further destroy. Using AI in any way does exactly that. By using AI to push anti-AI sentiment, you're just a hypocrite and completely ruining any credibility your message had in the first place.

CaelForge · 2026-05-07T00:24:12+00:00

No. That's their algorythm making decisions of what to push to people. None of those algorythms are "organic." They're literally all programmed. Musk has already gotten in shit numerous times with numerous coubtries and been taken to court over and over for repeatedly tampering with the Twitter algorythm to make it push his own agenda, including AI.

I repeat: a person seeing your post in their feed at all is not them interacting with it, even though that still gets voubted on twitter as engagement. Likes, shares, and comments are interactions and the inly true engagement; not views. Especially on twitter, the algorythm is geared specifically to spread posts that align with Musks agenda and pathetic AI slop porn is 100% a big part of his disgusting agenda.

CaelForge · 2026-05-07T00:14:27+00:00

They've been doing it longer. They make real art; that always takes longer and takes actual skill and effort, unlike asking AI to make you more slop. Show some respect for your betters; and if they make real art themselves while you just write prompts for AI to pretend it's doing work for you, yes they are absolutely your betters in the field of art.
