LOL care to educate us on why a statistical model is unacceptable while a procedural model (also statistical ๐) is acceptable, then? ๐ค I'll wait.
(reality: it's a minor implementation detail and has no relevance to the user)
There's a number of reasons, not least of which being that generative AI works by processing vast amounts of prior work (without their creators' consent) to make a facsimile of it, while procedural generation only manipulates assets the developer creates. Procedural generation isn't putting artists and writers out of business. Procedural generation isn't making Idiocracy a reality, with fucking English majors unable to read Dickens without asking OpenAI to interpret the text for them. "They do similar things" doesn't mean they're equivalent.
this is a fantastic point. well put.
If you think "AI" and a designed classic algrithm generating things are equivalent, no wonder you hail AI as good... because that is fucking clueless take.
It's literally just implementation and they're both statistical models, but ๐
If you disagree, explain how. I'll wait
When, exactly, did I? I called them both janky dogshit, but simply pointed out the very real hypocrisy of supporting procedural generation while hating generative AI.
