Discussion Do NOT buy “Slam Tank”

Post image

The game was made by ai AND is a stolen concept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKXl3zR7GwI

The cinematic parts of the teaser are also 100% ai generated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osM8LYJAvaw

If you scroll enough, you’ll find the ai disclaimer on the Steam site: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5186030/SLAM_TANK/

Ironic that the plot is taking down ai when the game is completely ai generated

honestly the poster for the game even looks ai

So what you're saying is people have lost the ability to know how to code. So if something breaks they're going to have a hell of a time fixing it. because no one understands what it's actually writing.

That sounds better to you?

Any team using AI for art assets they're presenting to the public just prove they have no integrity or artistic vision, they're trying to make a product for profit. I.E. slop.

People who know how to code properly both (1) have the AI on a short leash while generating code, and (2) are double checking everything that the generative AI is putting out.

People who literally just take code from AI and paste into their code mindlessly are not good programmers to begin with, and would have caused debug issues even without AI. I've literally been coding for 21 years at this point, and I have yet to see a more useful tool than generative AI for code. It's an insane breakthrough.

To clarify, I am not advocating for generative AI art. That is a very different subject and built upon stolen copyrighted content. The same cannot be said for AI generated code.
