Active Matter from Gaijin Network Ltd looks like a lot of fun for fans of first-person shooters, but they soured it with a truly distasteful AI notice.

    In-game AI character Ms. Second is using AI generated voice. Using humans voices for AI character would be cultural appropriation.

    I feel liket they’re trying to be funny, but when you’re actually hurting artists the joke doesn’t land. Also, the joke feels rather… right wing.

      What’s crazy is the replies in the updates… Like, they are trying to spin it that they weren’t making a joke, they are 100% serious about not wanting to offend the clankers because “AGI Is right around the corner”.

      The joke is stupid, but using AI voice for AI character really just makes sense

        Perhaps the only time that it really does make sense. But the joke is dumb and charged enough that I won’t be playing.

            Obviously absurd hypocrisy requires no explanation

            Although I do feel a little bit let down that I’m not gonna get another ridiculous song and dance from you

            :’(

                  Well, this was a pretty minimal effort for me as far singing & dancing goes, so I thought you’d seen one of my more command performances to be as disappointed as you are.

                    minimal effort

                    That about sums it up, honey. Why you thought you deserved more, well… You seem to have enough of an imagination, so I will let you fill in the blanks. After all, you’ve been shooting enough of them to keep us all entertained… 💋

        Angry language-policing? I don’t follow, sorry. Are you talking about me saying the joke felt “right-wing”?

          Not you, necessarily, but the fact that this is even an issue. This whole thing is just language policing. I get it, I think it’s insensitive, but I also think you have to pick your battles and jumping down people’s throats like this just makes them enemies. There’s plenty of people who are consciously and actively trying to make the world a worse place and not just making casual jokes without challenging their underlying assumptions.

        Edit: I see you are all on a hate train and here is no different than reddit. Get in the way of the hate train and get plastered.

        You must be plastered if you thought you could flee Reddit and come here and get away with trying to sling this kind of bullshit without being called out on it

        If you keep smelling shit everywhere you go, check your shoes
