People still do shit like woodworking manually even though cnc machines exist. Maybe indie devs have to adopt the mindset that they are hobbyists and not expect to make money. Like people who write a book just so they can say they wrote a book. Or small time musicians who just play for fun. seems kind of entitled to assume you'll actually make money off something most people do for fun

Enshittification and Slopification have extended to the internet and social media. Literally 90% posts in TikTok have affiliate links and are only made for the purpose of trying to go viral, same in X with blue checkmarks niggers.

It's also why anonymous imageboards thrive on negativity. It's easy to sell your product by being positive about it. It's hard to sell your product by being negative about everyone else's products. Unless it's a market leader that you're trying to dethrone like Valve.

if indie devs weren't retarded they would do what Nintendo does and patent some unique aspect of their game that hasn't been seen before and then when someone copies it sue them. if their lifetime passion indie project doesn't have anything unique enough to gain a patent then their game is just more run of the mill generic indie slop like 99% of the genre.

Because they're talking to AI.
I've encountered many people like this. They grow accustomed to using AI in some way, eventually they talk to it regularly, then forego communicating with humans entirely.

I think it's because most people "interacting" online were just doing it to achieve some end. Attention, money, companionship, intimacy, killing time, entertainment, validation, whatever. If a bot satisfies this faster than a human, on-demand, and maybe even does a better job, then there's no use for socializing anymore.

Social media is especially vulnerable to this because it was already fake. Basically if social media is already fake then interacting with AI is actually better, because at least it admits it's fake.

Yes I think we are past the peak of the social media era, in hindsight the run from "iphone launches" to "chatgpt launches" may be seen as this weird era where people flooded the internet with banal trivia and overshared their lives like crazy, and the end result was it all served as feedstock to train models that made the whole thing obsolete.

Even though 4chan isn't like most sites you'd call "social media" I think a lot of former posters are simply filling their low-investment communication need with AI now.

What do you think people IRL are doing?
>>
>>749434901
Well yeah but real-life relationships exist beyond the immediate end you just achieved. Yeah you're killing time with your friends but then you'll see them another time. Or you play games but maybe later you talk about it and enjoy the memories you had. But sometimes online it's just people dipping in and out of existence ephemerally, or the "interactions" are just numbers or random comments. So it may as well be that nobody really exists as a person at all, which means the transition to AI, the absence of any real person, is fairly seamless.
>>
>>749431469
The trick is to not advocate the game and stay silent until shortly before release.
>>
>>749431469
Everything you post online is public domain and open source. Nobody can "steal" you game because it never belonged to you.

What I wanna know is, can this AI model, system, just make anything? For example if you bought a game on steam and ask the AI to make new animations for characters in that game that play at certain times, or new mechanics that are completely new and just inject those into your game with 100% integration would that be possible?

Porn games are the only genre that is already flooded with ai slop.

>>749431469
The solution is to keep most of your game hidden and only show select bits in the trailer.

That's not the same thing as your original game being copied though. Most genres like idlers, roguelikes and autobattlers are already flooded with fully generated slop as well.

You can make new animations for characters but it kinda sucks if you yourself have no idea how to animate. It would be better if you had some experience animating. Here's something I've done. Mind you, this takes quite a bit of handholding if you know nothing and are retarded. Sometimes claude can get it, other times it can't

You might wanna take a look at the bootleg market
the only difference is that now low-iq indians will be able to do that, not just the chinese
but you gotta be fucking retarded to get scammed like that in the first place
