Does anyone remember uplink?

[–] nailbar@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

I think I have it, but never tried it. Came in a Humble Bundle, I think.

What's up, link?

Much of the game is played on the fictitious Amigo OS, an amalgam of Windows 3.1 and early Apple operating systems

Or maybe it's based on Amiga Workbench?

There was no mention of AI?

it’s on the steam store page:

AI GENERATED CONTENT DISCLOSURE

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

The use of AI in Vice Undercover was strictly limited to enhancing a limited number of database images, such as some faces, objects, and locations. All images began with original photographs taken by the team, which were then used to create datasets for generating initial concepts. These AI-generated images were not used as-is—instead, they served as a starting point for detailed, creative transformation. Every final image was extensively painted, composited, and refined using original photographs and artistic elements, ensuring that all visuals align with the game's unique style and authenticity. AI was simply one tool in a much larger creative process driven by human artistry.

That doesn’t sound like a kind of “AI” usage I’m particularly concerned about, but would be willing to listen to reasons of why it is or isn’t a problem

[–] ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I just genuinely don't like the look of most AI generated imagery, also there's the ever prevalent conundrum that is the lack of supporting actual human artists.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Out of curiosity, did you not like the images before you read that they used AI? Its pretty obvious that it was used as a tool by human artists from the write-up, in the same way that a human artist would use Photoshop.

[–] ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yes, I actually sought out the AI disclaimer to confirm my suspicions since they had that uncanny valley feel to them.

A human artist using Photoshop would generally know how to fix that.

[–] ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I almost would have preferred that they lower the quality of the images they took, or use an older camera for more of that "old school jank" vibe they were supposedly going for.

[–] voytrekk@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Maybe that user is a bot that just complains about AI.

[–] ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

lol the idea of an AI bot designed to criticize AI is hilarious and may be an acceptable use of AI.

i think the effect would be to further muddy the discourse
