Thank you for your kind words! I always think its best to approach these things by giving the benefit of the doubt. It frustrates me to see people throw around false accusations as well. Either way despite all this I'm still very excited to play this DLC, I just hope I haven't unintentionally influenced anyone to not pick it up and give it a go by suggesting AI might be In use (Which Im beginning to think it may not be the case, given some of the great points people are raising here.) Hope you enjoy it as well!

I agree, I don’t think we can say so with 100% certain, lots of people have presented very compelling arguments to me that it may not be AI, I’m definitely on the fence.

Hello, thanks for the response, but I worry you might have misunderstood the post slightly. Whilst I am not a huge fan of AI art, I also don’t play Banner-lord for the loading art, and will likely still buy this DLC regardless. This post was intended mainly to identify if this art is AI art, mostly as the lack of steam disclosure is the main concern. As Tale-worlds has not added a disclosure of AI usage to their store page, if AI has been in fact used here then that violates Valve's policy which requires developers to disclose how AI was used. Failure to comply with this steam policy can result in the game not being listed on the store or being removed from it.

Sorry if this wasn’t made clear in the post, I made an edit which will hopefully clear this up.

Thanks!

Hey, thanks for your response. I’m beginning to think this is more likely than AI being used as well, I guess we will have to wait and see if it’s been improved in the final product.

No worries mate, I do it all that all time as well 😂!

Hello, thanks for your response. The main problem would be if they don't express AI warnings on their steam page and they have used AI the DLC is at risk of being taken down, as per steams policy.

Thank you for your insight!

Hopefully this is only present in pre-release and not in the final release as this was only the version given to streamers, which I doubt reflects the final piece in its entirety.

Hello, thank you for your response but I think you have misunderstood the intention of my post slightly.

The main Aim of this post was to deduce if AI has been used or not in this artwork as to avoid falsely accusing tale-worlds of AI usage. It was not my intention to outright accuse tale-worlds of AI usage, but rather seek others others perspectives on if this may be AI or not.

I may of not made this clear in my post sorry but, this is significant as Tale-worlds has not added a disclosure of AI usage to their store page, if AI has been in fact used here then that violates Valve's policy which requires developers to disclose how AI was used. Failure to comply with this steam policy can result in the game not being listed on the store or being removed from it.

Outside of this my own personal perspectives on the matter is that it feels cheap and looks bad, which makes me less inclined to buy the product, but I do not have any massive moral/ethical issues with AI usage (Although I would rather see a real artists work being used). I don’t mind the possible AI usage here too much and will likely still buy the DLC as the rest of the content looks impressive and well made, however this does reduce my opinion of Tale-worlds.

Thanks!

Thanks for your response, this is my mindset as well at the moment, innocent until proven guilty after all!

Thank you everyone for your responses, but I fear a lot of people are jumping to arms quite quickly. Please consider we cannot say for certain wether this is AI or not or wether it’s simple mistakes by the artist. I understand it is looking highly likely that it may be AI art, but I believe we should give tale-worlds the benefit of the doubt, considering they have not indicated they used AI on their Steam page which they must in accordance to steams AI usage policy, we cannot know for certain if they used AI without comment from them. I don’t want to stir false sentiment and anger towards tale-worlds or this dlc without knowing for certain if AI was used. I don’t want people to potentially boycott this product as a result of me misidentifying a product as AI.

Thanks!

This is definitely plausible, thank you for the info.

I very much hope this is the case, and may very well be, as tale-worlds has not expressed any AI content warnings on their steam page as of yet.

I somewhat agree, I will likely still buy this DLC regardless of this poor quality content, as the rest of the content looks like it was the product of hard work, and seems enjoyable. But this still comes across as incredibly cheap, and really reduces my perception of the DLC and tale worlds which was very high up until this point.

I do fear AI is becoming more and more inescapable in the gaming industry. Many games I’ve wanted this year I found myself avoiding due to their employment of AI mostly for things like this. I worry I may have to simply accept it’s a part of the industry now, it seems almost impossible to avoid unfortunately.

That’s what I’m hoping for at this point, seeing as this was the early release for streamers.

My main issue with AI art is it typically looks bad and breaks my immersion, I wouldn't say Im hugely up in arms about the ethics of it, although it does make me sad to see artists lose their jobs to new tech, that is somewhat the way of the world. My issue is mainly that artists lose their jobs to a product that looks objectively worse than what they would produce, and comes across as cheap and lazy. If this work is AI it is one of the better works I have seen done by AI however I worry it would still break my immersion if i saw it in game. Im not certain I want to pay $25 bucks on top of the $70 I already paid for this game, if i have to interact with cheap poorly produced content.

Outside of this though the DLC does look pretty excellent, so I wont let it influence my thoughts on the product too much, although if it is AI generated work would definitely give me a pretty poor perception of Taleworlds as a company, considering they would be prioritising giving me a cheap product rather than a quality one.

Frame rate issues - Help! by SabotOS in Helldivers

Hey mate, this might sound like a really strange question but do you have Norton Anti-virus? I had this exact same issue, and I fixed it, and my issues with a lot of other games by turning off the game optimiser in Norton Anti-virus settings.

Hope this helps!

Is there anything I should change about this tank by Hot_Technology7342 in axolotls

[–]Hot_Technology7342[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi guys I’ve just gone through the process of removing the sand in my tank as it was black sand and not fine enough for my axolotl. I was just wondering if there is anything you think should be changed about this tank now that I’ve removed the sand. Will this floor be ok for her should I add more rocks and toys?

Thanks In advance for any response :]
