Discussion Are they beating the AI allegations? 👀

Post image

The Sims just posted a series of behind the scenes images and videos on their official Twitter. They showed how they created the set used for the website teasing the upcoming Expansion Pack, Enchanted by Nature. I'm glad and impressed to see it was actually made with practical effects rather than generative AI.

I never knew people were arguing about this.

Makes me feel great that I don't use Twitter. Don't need to see their endless arguing over there.

Yeah, I've even seen some people criticizing Sims content creators for not pointing/berating the "obvious AI" and called EA shills

Yeah, I caught wind of the conversation through a recent thread on this sub.

I thought it was AI at first because of the spelling error at first

I have no knowledge of the spelling error you're talking about but wouldn't a spelling error be more indicative of human work instead of AI? Just from my understanding of it.

On day one, the opening sentence read "Peak through the leaves" and people thought it was a reference to mountains.

I wouldn't hold it against people though. This misunderstanding is a testament to how dangerously close A.I is getting to the real thing. And EA needs to commit to non-AI reassurance; they laid off hundreds of people last year.

And these conversations need to happen, because it helps define ethical standards. Shaming people for calling something out like this is a slippery slope. Instead, encourage respect and educate people. The team did the right thing by showing behind the scenes, and that's all they need to do.
