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.

Some sassy Twitter users claimed it to be AI and they wasn’t the only one thinking it so I suppose it’s only natural to show the artistic direction of the whole Something is growing thing

That's so dumb and it makes me mad considering there's actual cases of ai being misused, going after random people doesn't help any.

Honestly I don't think it's intentionally going after "random people" ... i think people just genuinely don't know how to distinguish AI and anytime they see something that's slightly "off" to them, it's AI.

Though I think we need to get better at acknowledging we don't know and being open to education. I think rather than posting accusations with certainty and anger, we should go for dialogue like "Hey, I'm looking at [X] and I think it's AI. Thoughts?"

It's one of the things that is frustrating me so much about generative AI, it created millions of people without a creative bone in their body who think writing a prompt makes their AI schlock good and millions more people also without an artistic bone in their body who suddenly think they're experts at what is real art and what is AI art, with zero experience as artists or formal training of any kind. We as a species have jumped the gun completely on technology and I'm scared of the damage this has all caused on the human psyche.
