"An AI Podcasting Machine Is Shitting Out 3,000 Episodes a Week"

There, fixed it.

Why even buy? Why not just keep playing last year's that you've already paid for? I mean in CoD arguably there could be new maps - which AI would be crap at making - but in Madden? Why do you even need AI when the only difference between last year and this year is a shuffling of player names which you could handle with a 10 line AWK script.

Nothing except players refusing to buy it. ... So yeah, the hobby I grew up loving has been infected by zombie fungus and will never be good ever again. At least I will save a lot of money not buying new games or the PCs to run them on.

Or, they need to say 'F*** you, I'm not paying you for AI slop' and spend their money elsewhere. If I wanted uninspired repetitive quarter-assed rubbish, I could do that myself for free.

EA wants to make players pay for "content" at full price that those players could have generated for themselves for free by typing a prompt into ChatGPT, so they can fire actual artists to increase their profits. At the very least it is deceptive trading: EA is selling it just like every other human-created Codblops when it is not.

If I try to sell you a "Ferrari" that is actually a 1997 Toyota Corolla with a body kit glued on then the fact it may have put some Italians out of work isn't really the point, in my opinion. Nor does the fact that some people don't notice or care that it is a 1997 Toyota Corolla with a body kit glued on make it any better. I'm deceiving you, and I know it.

So is EA, and they know it.

Wow, I thought my bank's ATM fees were ridiculous.

Well yeah, I wouldn't want to move to China. But I certainly don't want to move to the US either.

OMG don't give them ideas!

It is illegal to patent a human organism *today*. All it'll take to change that is a $1M donation to the Epstein Ballroom Fund and a gold-plated double-helix peace prize for Trump.

Oh, clearly a typo. He meant "show you the right WING content".

Advertisers would *absolutely* do that if it wasn't illegal.

Inefficient.

Yeah but before that the people that made the videos had to put some effort into it. The problem isn't that it's fake. The problem is that you can now create a hundred fakes in the time it takes to prove the first one is a lie. Relatively harmless if the fake is a video of a bear flying next to a jumbo jet and waving at the fish who are passengers on board, but it's just as easy to make ruin someone's life with an AI video it took you 10 seconds to make.

That's three more than I expected to work. As opposed to "immediately infect you with 63 different malwares simultaneously".

Apparently the AGI superintelligence will solve climate change for us. Which may well be true ... but if so, it will say "You morons already know how to fix climate change. Build renewable electricity generation, stop burning fossil fuels and tax the bil-- 503 Server Error"
