We seriously need to ban all discussions about AI on this forum

[Demetrius_Dixon]

I don’t think I need to explain myself much.

Every time AI is brought up in ANY topic, an argument starts, and it NEVER ends.

EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Without fail.

We’ve got to stop these topics from appearing and spiraling.

But… but why? How else would I know how to make my NPCs work! Coding AI is hard work, you gotta think of all the different paths they can take, what phases different bosses would have and how you’d code those in using a hierarchical state machine, how your AI would interact with the player in different scenarios…

…oh wait, we don’t call that AI AI anymore do we…

((its a joke pls dont ban me))

Add an "ai-assisted" tag or something similar, especially for Resources people make

I’m not against AI tools, despite what a lot of people might say as a defense, but I do believe it’s important to properly separate genuinely human made projects from AI generated code. For this reason, I genuinely believe it’s a good idea to add an “ai-assisted” or similar tag so that people are required to tag the Resource they post and offer to others as being ai generated / heavily AI assisted. Having a user AI generate an entire library and claiming that they made it themselves can be dam…

Any updates on here ?

[tibaverus]

Nothing at all. Imo the Godot forums need more moderators. Moderation actions take way too long, even when something is obviously wrong.

Case in point:

Is the AI Bubble about to burst?

Hello everyone! Following some responses to a previous topic made by me about AI Voice “Acting”, particularly the ones by @Demetrius_Dixon, I started to wonder whether the AI situation is just a bubble waiting to burst or it will actually be the future like literally every company is saying. As he pointed out: the economic AI bubble propped up by investors with the promise of AGI will pop. And I believe it WILL pop sometime in the next few years. and the recent RAM (and other components) s…

Path tracing fork's future?

As some of you know, there is now a fork of Godot with path tracing. Even though it’s still work in progress, it can already create stunningly beautiful lighting. (I don’t think that Gamefromscratch video does it full justice. In my own experiments it works much better.) I hope that vendor agnostic parts of this fork become part of the core engine as soon as possible. Path tracing is not the future, it’s the present. Personally I haven’t played any games without path tracing for months, and at …

You have the option to stop following the argument.

[tibaverus]

The topic itself breaks no rules and there’s nothing wrong with it imo. It’s the comments that got out of hand a little bit.

[Frozen_Fried]

it’s at the very very edge of like some what uhhh indirect insult I guess

What’s wrong with having arguments? It’s part of the point of having a forum.
As long as the argument is civil and people don’t insult each other, it’s fine. If you find the topic annoying, just ignore it.

I just skimmed the last one or two hundred comments in the “Is the AI bubble about to burst” thread, and it seems to me the problem is with the commenters, not the subject matter. Besides, arguments mean that people disagree, meaning there is reason to discuss.

The fact is that generative AI is still pretty new, and people have a need to discuss it, to better understand it, and come to some consensus - is it evil? Do users automatically hate assets made with AI, or does the end user even notice? Will I be expected to work with AI in my (perhaps future) professional life in the games industry? By using it, am I supporting a technology that will cost countless people their jobs? And so on.

In my view, it’s a healthy discussion, so long as it doesn’t interfere with what this forum is really about - Godot. That, and that it’s discussed constructively - as with any topic.

[Demetrius_Dixon]

Fair enough. I just felt very annoyed at the time. So I’ll leave it at that.

[HyperJragon]

Yeah I mean I have been a participant to varying degrees in some of these debates but as long as they stay debates it’s fine. Debates arent conflict. Debates are just two people of different opinions trying to convince the other. If it becomes an argument it has to stop cause at that point there is malice and anger involved.
