I had a very strange dream about death. I knew I was dying, from something. When the sun came up I would just die. It might hurt a little as whatever was killing me lit up in my chest but it would happen so fast I would just be dead before I was able to feel any real pain.
I watched my reflection as the sun rose and I could see my chest lighting up and then I died. It all just went completely black and there was nothing, and then I woke up.
I've been struggling with existence lately. I don't necessarily want to die; I just wish I never existed to begin with. To remove myself from the world now would leave a hole where I had been and it would hurt people. What I really want is to have no connection, be completely removed and erased. I don't want to be perceived, I don't want to be mourned or missed, I just don't want to be.

I get where you're coming from @mbt-tv but its because of the reaction from the TIS employee I highlighted where they express being okay with AI use because they think it looks great and because they paid the person who used the AI to generate the art. Hence the comparison to "Its okay to pirate Project Zomboid if you pay the torrent site".

With the release of build 42 for Project Zomboid we also got more AI generated artwork to replace the ACTUAL art!! COOL!
I didn't even make the top ones. I got them from the games reddit page.
The AI garbage as since been removed from the update due to the controversy it stirred, and while that's absolutely a W, I wanna point out this particular response from one of the Indie Stone team members.
"As to whether there's AI used in any part of these images productions I could not say, I would hope not, but I will say however that in terms of the ethics of AI replacing artists in the industry, I feel confident that either way we have contracted an artist and paid them for the production of this art, it looks awesome, and even if AI was involved in the process in any way there'll have been plenty of and a majority of talented artists skill involved too."
Unfortunately that's exactly the issue. Other talented artists were involved: And they weren't paid. Their hard work was scraped off the internet and added to the AI grinder that spat out easily 95% of the product we got in the game update.
If someone took Project Zomboid and all of its assets, and then did a few minor changes to make the game a solo open world farming game, then repackaged and sold it with none of the money going to The Indie Stone, wouldn't that suck ass? Because that's what's wrong with AI art. Regardless of if you pay for AI art or not, you have not paid every artist involved in its inception. And to align yourself with AI art as being okay because you paid whoever typed the prompts into Midjourney is one hell of a stance to take.
#project zomboid#the indie stone#my disappointment is immesurable and my day is ruined#a wonderful game but this is so so so bad#if you want to play it its okay to pirate it so long as you make a donation to the torrent website you got it on#Because you technically still paid money to get the game right? Right.
