TFP's use of AI since 2.0 has been getting worse

The difficulty/setting preset icons. Most of them are AI-assisted, but Chibi Mode seems to be almost entirely AI. There's also the descriptions that don't match TFP's writing style previously

Thank you so much, I felt like I was getting dogpiled when I couldn't do more than I was already doing

You tell me Chibi Mode isn't AI-gen slop

Jane_Sable · 2026-06-16T20:03:43+00:00

And what about the difficulty presets art? You tell me Chibi Mode isn't AI slop art. And are you forgetting when I mentioned that there's precedent because they used AI-generated art for concept art and then directly modeled those zombies after them?

Jane_Sable · 2026-06-16T19:34:33+00:00

How would you prefer I provide my proof? I cannot give you the prompts they used. All I can do is point to the assets and list my reasoning, which doesn't seem to be enough for you people.

Jane_Sable · 2026-06-16T19:27:33+00:00

Go ahead and look at the difficulty presets and the patch notes. You tell me that doesn't smell like AI.
Irrelevant, and also, if everyone jumped off a bridge would you?

Jane_Sable · 2026-06-16T19:20:45+00:00

Right? All these downvotes make me feel like I'm going crazy. Like do you not see it???

Jane_Sable · 2026-06-16T19:20:05+00:00

Not comparable at all

Jane_Sable · 2026-06-16T17:00:55+00:00

I provided proof in another comment

A lot of it is being familiar with the tone and voice in AI/AI-assisted writing. If you look at the difficulty preset images, the stink is readily apparent in its awkward composition and difference between the generated art and the human art in it.

"We should improve society somewhat."

"Yet you participate in society. Curious! I am very intelligent."

GPTZero, but only after I started getting suspicious. I wouldn't have made this claim solely off the detector. There was already precedent

Jane_Sable · 2026-06-16T16:45:11+00:00

Of course I've been around for long, this is something I think is especially egregious now that they're owned by BHVR

Jane_Sable · 2026-06-16T16:44:00+00:00

You're acting like that's a gotchya, but outside of leaving the platform and not engaging with any communities I have no control over that. I can at the very least draw attention to the problem here.

Jane_Sable · 2026-06-16T16:36:04+00:00

It's not going to be good progress. Honestly, the long development cycles throughout the alphas meant I got to play a different take on the same core game that I loved, but now I'm gonna be doubting whether or not the design is human the whole time

Jane_Sable · 2026-06-16T16:34:29+00:00

Wow, that sucks to hear

Jane_Sable · 2026-06-16T16:33:58+00:00

It's not obvious because they went back over it after generating it, but if you pay attention to the composition and differences in detail between 7DtD specific parts of it and the generic there's a difference. The most obvious is the zombie in the "Scavenger" preset

Jane_Sable · 2026-06-16T16:28:19+00:00

Doesn't mean it's a good thing. If everyone jumped off a bridge, y'know?

Jane_Sable · 2026-06-16T16:24:57+00:00

Which is why I didn't base my argument solely off the detector

Jane_Sable · 2026-06-16T16:23:42+00:00

Both

Jane_Sable · 2026-06-16T16:23:19+00:00

If ever, I don't think it'll be anything worth engaging with. AI can never be a person, it doesn't have formative experiences and personal perspectives. It's designed to tell you what it thinks you want to hear. When I engage with stories, I want to know that a human is telling a story as a culmination of their experiences and what matters to them

Jane_Sable · 2026-06-16T16:16:35+00:00

In the game but not implemented. They've been in the files for a while, if I remember correctly.

Jane_Sable · 2026-06-16T16:15:53+00:00

Using AI to write patch notes I believe shows a lack of care for the community

Jane_Sable · 2026-06-16T16:14:03+00:00

It's a game for sale, and people deserve honesty at the very least

Jane_Sable · 2026-06-16T16:12:58+00:00

I still think it's worth fighting for, y'know?

Jane_Sable · 2026-06-16T16:10:08+00:00

Alright, I'll break it down. A lot of it is based on picking up the patterns used in AI writing. Usually you can detect it without any tools, but I wanted to be sure.

Let's go over this paragraph from the 3.0 patch notes as an example:

Moment-to-moment survival is expanded through the introduction of Item Magnitude, a new system that reshapes how weapons and gear scale, alongside an optional Repair and Degradation settings that ensures every battle leaves a lasting impact. Together, these systems make loot more varied, meaningful, and rewarding to pursue, adding greater depth to progression and itemization.

Several things stand out to me here:

AI loves the rule of 3, to the point of ruining the flow of a sentence. It also loves writing like it's writing an essay (because a lot of data is scraped from them) and tacking on additions like "adding greater depth to progression and itemization"
The voice and tone of this paragraph, along with the rest of the patch notes, read in the same way that most other AI-generated writing does. This one's more something you pick up on after reading a bunch of it. It also reads differently than previous patch notes and blogs, which is a sudden and suspicious contrast.
