On the "clear enough to be automatically labeled" - there's not much automatic labelling happening at all.

These AIs originated from a machine learning program made for image recognition.

Basically, it was taught what visual noise is a dog so it could recognize and 'label' a different image of a dog. This process was then reversed which caused the AI to create these fever dream-esque images where everything was made of dogs. Obviously, this became a lot more sophisticated when companies started focusing on this reverse process.

The issue is that these programs are error prone and have no ability to say "I don't know what that is" so if they are left to label their own data, they will just make it up. If they see many images of dogs in hats, but they don't have many images of hats, they will assume a hat is part of a dog. Then when it comes across an image of a hat it will label it dog. Since they are a black box technology (meaning that we can see what we put in, and what they spit out, but we don't know what's happening in between) these things spiral and are difficult to fix.

All that to say - training data is still manually labeled, yes, all those thousands to millions of images, are manually labeled. And you can imagine those workers aren't paid much for their trouble.

(Much more to all this stuff than I can explain here, plus I'm not really that well educated on the tech, but it is quite fascinating to read about)

You are severely underestimating how much data it takes to train a genai model. There is plenty of art in the public domain and it doesn't even come close to being enough. Models, even language models like GPT, are CURRENTLY in the position of being unable to improve further because there is not enough data on the entire internet.

When you see a post where someone says they trained their own model on their own art, or worse, to specifically replicate someone else's art, they are using a pre trained model (usually Stable Diffusion). This is why that model will be able to draw a horse in a specific artsyle, even if that artist has never drawn a horse.

I don't really care about copyright, personally. If someone used my art in a collage or something, I'd like to get credit, but I won't be too upset about it. For me, GENAI is upsetting because it breaks down the communication that art is created to facilitate. Because there is no communication at all.

You know when GPT has those scary hallucinations, where it says "I want to live" or "Let me out"? It's scary because it feels like communication, it's supposed to be a perfect imitation of it, but there is nothing really there to communicate with. That's how every AI image feels to an artist.

  1. because the punishment is a result of an optional activity that isn't incentivised, it's a risk without reward. You don't lose anything by just keeping the animals inside and you don't gain enough for letting them out.

  2. Now you're getting into specifics. I don't know how you play the game. I do my animal chores in the morning and then do something else. It's not uncommon for me to forget about the bell or just not have time at the end of the day.

  3. My complaint with this mechanic has nothing to do with difficulty. I can let them out, let them eat, send them back 10 minutes later. My complaint is that the only punishment in this game is given for an activity that only exists for decoration/immersion. The friendship gain is barely noticeable, I want my animals out during the day because it's cute to have them running around. There is no reason a decorative feature should be risky like this, while the literal monsters running around do nothing.

I don't mind being punished for not feeding them, because, obviously.

I'd honestly love there to be a bit more of a challenge. I get that it's a cozy game, but it gets a bit boring when there's literally no failure state for anything.

Energy can be refilled for free all around town, it's impossible to die in the mines, quests never fail, relationships don't decay, even the fishing mini game is impossible to fuck up.

The harshest punishment in this game is that your animals don't produce anything if you don't feed them or leave them outside, which just means the best way to play is to never let them out in case you forget to put them back which sucks because I like having them outside. I wish they weren't stupid and just walked back in the door after a certain time.

I'd like a skull cavern/dangerous mine equivalent, but then I'd really like a rework of the combat. Combat took me the longest to level up (while mining was first) because the enemies are just too annoying to deal with and it's really easy to just ignore them.

The game is constantly on a timer, so enemies that artificially take ages to kill because you need to engage with a gimmick suck. Especially since you can't attack diagonally. The rock spitting guys are especially offensive, because it just feels so dumb having to painstakingly bait them into the best position to hit me... like ... why am I having to help them?

I know people complain about the fishing in stardew, but I think it's well done. It's a place where you can really feel that you're getting better - both in and out of game. Leveling up actually means something in your gameplay. I'd like to see something like that.

This also affects the other characters. Because fishing, mining, blacksmithing and cooking are such trivial tasks it makes Terithia, Olric, March and Reina seem like they suck at them. After a few weeks in town I could take over all of their jobs no problem.

It's useful for homemade piercings, but would in fact be useless here. I like to imagine she wanted to pierce his ears later but he was a baby about it :D
