I've got custom-built retro gaming computers tuned for everything from early-90s to late-2010s, PC and Mac...
...I spend so much time building and tuning them I never get around to actually playing any retro games.
No. It is a fact. Art is about human expression. Take the human out of the equation and you get art that is automatically bad. Or you can take the stance that "its not art" anymore, at which point why are we discussing it on an art forum?!(Writing is art).
You could post a thousand different studies and not change the core fact: generative AI art is automatically terrible by virtue of being generative AI.
I just got through setting up a windows XP machine along with a Matrox "TripleHead2Go" graphics expander. I got the original Unreal to run, completely unmodified, across 3 monitors. I'm trying The Sims2 and Crysis next.
I agree with you 1,000% and do not use any AI myself.
I' am also now demanding "NO AI" disclaimers on any media I consume. If a new show or movie comes out, I won't watch it without said disclaimer. Its not just a question of refusing to use that crap myself. If someone else used it I don't...
That's why we all need to take a firm stance: No AI in creative spaces. Period.
If there's enough community backlash people will stop. If enough people get screamed off of story website for using AI-generated garbage, the behavior will stop.
AI is a lot like the One Ring. You think you can use it because your intentions are pure. But it was made from evil, it can only do evil. It cannot create. It can only corrupt.
Well I can't say I know the trash-80 terribly well, but I do know people with working examples if you need details.
...did not know about this variant. I never wanted a TRS-80 and now I must have one of those Dragon 32s. Such is vintage computing.
I had stopped working on it when I wasn't getting any traffic. So yes, it is lacking.
Same. Getting nothing but spamemers, bots, and the occasional human scammer.
Are you suggesting the wiki itself will help draw in readers?
The reason it looks unfinished is because its a cloned subset of another wiki(which I shall not link here) that I've been working on since 2011(yes, I've been at this for a long time, I am not a novice). I had assumed the traffic...
