I have been hurt, confused, angry and defeated, by the bizarre extremism of the anti-ai group.
But as a result of weeding everyone out from my feeds, who would express what I see as unreasonable animosity towards people who use ai. I do feel much better, I don’t feel as defensive.
And I do mean I unsubscribed from channels I used to like and watch for years. Like august the duck, or moist critical, just to mention two. There’s many more, but I just refuse to support people who help spread that kind of hate. I don’t know if it’s a populistic thing, or if it’s because they really are that dumb. My money is on trend and populism.
It’s not like I defend what mr Beast did, I mean that’s just not okay. But on the other hand, I don’t think it’s fair to drag everyone down on his level.
like this.
If it were up to me, this creator ought to be called out for her misinformative and shallow bullshit. I mean, everything is wrong with this thumbnail and description if you ask me.
I mean we’re not even talking about someone who wrote a book with ai, we are talking about an author who support ai. what the fuck.
And to have her face up there with the words ‘boooo’ is just not okay.
And lastly, the ‘you’re just here to make money, not community = you are a grifter.’ argument makes me so fucking angry.
I am not saying grifters don’t exist, they do. With and without ai, but this? this shit is just not okay, not even remotely.
As I said, I wish people like me wasn’t hiding in our little holes, just wanting to be left the fuck alone by people like this creator. We are done debating, because those who make accusations like this, they aren’t listening. And that is because it doesn’t fit their fucking narrative of ‘some ai = all ai”.
Thing is I noticed this trend, that people are getting fucking cancelled, not for using ai. No, they just have to either not be against it, or not vocalise they are against it.
What the actual fuck.
Pro -ai videos are few and far between. And I do mean people who argument for it, not the fucking slob all over the place with my little pony and talking angela. Everyone hates that shit.
But genuine arguments for it. Now I downloaded the thumbnail just in case he takes it down, or gets struck. Because that is what happens to people who make pro-ai videos, and that is why you very rarely see them.
And I do respect the fact that he is not a frothing ai-bro, he is just saying that people should calm their tits.
So I have been messing with TTS, I mean I promised I wouldn’t anymore. But this is kind of different.
However I decided to make a spin on it, because I fell over an old analysis and theory video I made, but never finished. And so I decided to finish it. You can read about it here in my youtube blog.
This took me so fucking long. And as I said, in this video. the only AI is the sprite, and the voice reading my text, or script if you will. Everything else is not, it’s screenshots, royalty clipart from canva, or images from public websites.
I know this falls under ‘ai’, and so I kinda burned out on it, because I knew I couldn’t upload it with the game on my channel, which is a fucking shame. I did leave it open and public on my other channel where I have ai music. Because I really wanted this video out there, main channel or not.
Then I made this, – same as the other in regards to the use of AI, the only ai there is the sprite and the voice. But this one I left unlisted and it’s only available on my youtube blog. And for this video, I made a written post too, which touches down on the different gameplay issues I had, but not the analysis. You can find the written post here, and the post with this video here.
Why did I do that? well because I am fine with people don’t liking TTS videos. And this is why they are only on my blog. I don’t link to them from my community tag either, it’s only if you browse my blog you’ll find them.
This is the perfect solution for me, because I want to make analysis videos, or bitch about broken games, or other shit. But I don’t want to force it down peoples throat either. So that’s why it’s like this.
The written post was linked in my community tag, and it does mention the TTS video if you want the analysis too.
This video I uploaded in a written entry, but also stated that you didn’t need to watch it, unless you wanted to see the demo gameplay, I list a mark when the demo gameplay start. And also I have subtitles so you can mute the video and read those if you’d rather want to do that.
If people have a problem with that, they’re like that woman in the screnshot. I mean sure there’s a stupid bird sprite made with ai. And technically it’s a TTS video, but you can opt out of the TTS if you want, and just read the subs.
This entry I did leave at my community tag, and I will just have to see what works. But I refuse to tag this as AI, I don’t think it is an AI video.
I made it. I mean besides the fact my voice isn’t reading my script, and it’s not my face, but a bird.
Oh well…
No matter what I hope the few followers I have is okay with it, and I think going forward I will probably do like I did with the last video, embed it in the written video, leaving it as an option. And I’d probably not only have the demo gameplay in the TTS video either, but we’ll just have to see.
