  I love all the innovation you bring, but why do you have to use ai graphics?!
  Is this the future of oog? Will you let the next few articles be randomly generated as well?

  AI is neither good for the planet nor good for our brains, it doesn't scream charme it screams capitalist boot-licking. Now, I know it's so easy to use and you have so much stuff to do that it fulfills a dire need, but your website is made from people for people, not by an algorithm for an algorithm. This is a massive turnoff for me and I really hope those are filler graphics.

  Hey bananenparty, sorry for the delayed response.

  The future of Out of Games is not AI written content as per our editorial standards.

  Truthfully though, AI isn't going anywhere. I don't think that AI has any business writing for us, a communication medium should be by humans for humans. I can't trust what an AI writes; I can't even really trust what a human writes most of the time either lmao.

  I didn't need to use a graphic, I did to add a bit of splash. Getting a human to make art, you'd be talking about a piece that would be hundreds of dollars to make and a multi-week process as there is back and forth and a waitlist to get art made. And even then, you might get swindled and someone just ends up using AI for most of it anyway these days - I've had that happen before.

  AI is innovation though and it definitely is the next big change up for us humans. We are still so early on in the development, things are rapidly evolving and getting more optimized; These companies are betting on things getting more optimized because the current rate, sustainability is debatable. I see AI just as we saw the industrial and computing revolutions. I am excited to see where things head as long as I can still talk to humans and interact with humans without them relying on an AI to tell them how to communicate. That's my biggest fear, that we actually lose some humanity.

  As far as the planet is concerned, AI so far has been useful to a degree, unlike Bitcoin. Bitcoin has dont nothing good for anyone other than allow people to launder money and trade illegal goods. Cryptocurrency is a true burden on the planet. Sure, someone making an AI reel/short with garbage nonsense isn't doing us any good, and one could argue the random pieces of fruit that are having ... relations ... on TikTok and Instagram is a debatable good use of the compute power (I'd argue if its just done for entertainment, its fine, we need entertainment).

  And for the record, I'm not the biggest fan of all of it, but I sure will be seeing how tools can be used to improve productivity because at the end of the day, the world appears to be moving in this direction and if I'm left behind, I'm afraid of what that means for me being able to live and I don't want to be a fearmongerer, but I think everyone should be playing around with stuff, especially while there are generous free tiers available.

  This was a bit of a weird place to talk about this, this would have been a topic better suited for the feedback realm, but I appreciate you opening the discussion and providing feedback even if we aren't perfectly aligned. I do want to reiterate though that AI-generated text has zero place here on Out of Games and we regularly ban people for using it. We have tools to help us write better headline and other search engine necessities, but everything you read in our articles is written by us for you and to my knowledge, I've used Gen AI for a single thumbnail on our articles and that was to make something splashy for our leveling system announcement - and then of course the Dle game thumbnails.

  TL;DR: I am always pro-human, but I am also of the opinion that we can co-exist with our machine friends if care is taken.
