Comics Community (OC) AI 'art' and the future

Could be controversial but I'm just gonna say it... I don't like AI... and for me it was never about it not looking good. There are obviously more factors to this whole thing, like about people losing jobs, about how the whole thing is just stealing, and everything like that but I'm just focusing on one fundamental aspect that I think about a lot... I just wanted to draw what I feel...! 🥲🥲 Sorry about the cringe but I actually live for cringe 💖

One fundamental issue with the algorithm showing and reinforcing things you already know and like is that it's limiting. How small would your world and tastes be if you never tried something new, something outside your comfort zone, something that you didn't already know you'd like?

We're all much more diverse and interesting people because we've taken "risks" and experienced new things. Not all of them work for us, but that at least shows you're trying and open to growth.

Imagine if your parents said "Oh, you like Mac and Cheese? Okay!" and then only ever fed you Mac and Cheese your whole life.

As an autist I think that sounds kinda nice.

But I am worried about videogames. What makes them fun to me is that I learn new gameplay mechanics, enemies behaivour and weaknesses and use them to win, but if a game just would have the same gameplay as the standard modern shooter with only one kind if enemy that is copy and pasted over and over again I will learn nothing new and the game will be extremly boring.

This is why I stopped buying triple A games, they’re just the same handful of extremely dull concepts copy pasted from one game to another, at this point only Indie games and occasionally double A games are worth the trouble
