Yeah, we are very surprised that AI with memory stored on servers with the main purpose of remembering what you told it or what you worked on, can actually remember it. 🤦

I mean, do I even need to explain? Please tell me I don't. I really just don't feel like it. The image speaks for itself.

edit: Man, it's crazy to see pro-ai peeps in an anti-ai subreddit. 👀

Has stated that it is company policy to not use generative AI in any games they make

This one comment pissed off a lot of AI bros lmao

Full slop ahead, warp 9.

No I'm not using the "forgot" as an excuse to not credit the original inspo I actually forgot the source

In addition to AI assisted projects, they are also banning brand new projects that have only one contributor. And they are apparently facing major backlash because of this.

What do you guys think about it?

Mods can you please add more flairs or add a Misc flare, nothing fits this
thanks.

Google’s planned AI data centres in northern Finland have triggered environmental concerns after an estimated 250,000 trees were cleared across 330 hectares near Muhos before the required environmental impact assessment was completed. Finnish authorities ordered preparatory work suspended at two sites, Muhos and Kajaani. Residents and conservationists have raised concerns about wildlife habitat destruction and muddy runoff entering nearby waterways. Google’s Finland country manager has apologised, while the company says it acted in good faith and plans to plant trees across 130 hectares at Muhos. The controversy highlights the environmental costs of expanding AI infrastructure. Although Finland attracts data centre investment through its cool climate and energy resources, responsible development requires environmental assessments and safeguards before major land clearance begins. The challenge is to advance AI technology without compromising forests, waterways and local communities.

I want to hold a ln online contest where people who their characters outfits in game and one of the options is they draw their characters. I am investing my own money as a prize so i want to be able to get my money’s worth.

How do I make the rules In strict enough that these prompters can’t participate but loose enough that the artists feel comfortable enough joining?

I would just put a “No AI” rule but we both know that will encourage them.

So far my only thought is to make each art submission either have a speed paint or a reference photo/sketch as they don’t know what that is.
