Don’t worry a lot of the posts I used it on were pretty obvious that they were ai generated so they were easy to detect

there are over a dozen pending posts in this thread, and many of them are effectively insults / dogpiling / fighting. Disagreeing with eachother is fine, but this is not the place to take snipes at other people. I’m clearing most of these out, even the ones that were probably more on the side of ‘usually acceptable.’

If conversations can’t remain civil I’m going to lock the thread. It’s clear people have very strong opinions on this, and will likely not be able to change eachother in full, but do not let that boil over / try and bait people into feeling upset.

I would like to say that AI does hurt artists’ careers. If you’re saying you’re too lazy to make the art or whatever, then I implore you to please at least use the money you say you’re using on AI for real artists. It really means a lot to the artists who spend their efforts making beautiful art, and AI does affect their careers and lives. :] (Mods, I am not attacking or insulting in any way. I have only recycled his words, and I do have a point to this)

ugh lets just settle this.

Do you prefer making art yourself, or A.I. art?

I get where you’re going with this, but it’s really not the same thing. Taking pictures is an art itself and can be tough to perfect. For the other ones though, they’re really off topic to the narrative to AI art. See, with AI art vs. real art, the question isn’t about "why not?"s, it’s about the fact that AI art is a detriment to creativity, jobs, and art as a whole.

The main reason remakes and demakes should be allowed is the fact that you’re almost always putting effort into it by making your own style of the game. Not to mention the code. You can’t simply copy the code and place it into your demake. And for makecode remakes, I’ve typically seen the code remade to be more optimized. But no matter what, remakes and demakes here on MakeCode are simply here to help improve on becoming a better dev. Everything I just said in this paragraph, AI cannot do. AI doesn’t help you become a better dev. It doesn’t help you make your own unique style. The only thing AI can help you with here is making sprites fast 💔

I agree with you here. You should have freedom to do whatever you like with your games, but MakeCode is a learning program. The goal of using MakeCode is to improve your computer science skills. If you want to make enjoyable games in the future on major engines, then you SHOULD make your own artwork and code. Though, I’m not sure how well that will go in the future. I can already see a lot of AI messes of games being released…

I definitely agree with trying to keep a positive mindset about anything! Though, as an artist, it hurts me personally when people use AI and take credit for it. It’s like a slap in the face to every artist out there. Imagine you mastered cutting trees down. You get hired as a log cutter. You start cutting down a tree with your ax, and when you finally finish cutting the tree down, someone comes in with an excavator tree saw. They made your efforts seem worthless, and eventually, your skills become useless and you lose your job. Now this isn’t the best example because art is subjective. AI art is a big deal though, and it does affect us in a lot of ways. I know I’ve already said this, but it seriously does kill off creativity and perspective.

Conclusion?  
AI is great for what it can do, and has some great times to use it, like perhaps generating an AI image, and then taking inspiration from it, but using AI inside of MakeCode does affect us artists. We work so hard, only to have some rando come in and talk about how great their work is when it was AI generated. It’s a really sad and depressing fact we have to live with, but it’s happening, and there’s not much we can do to prevent it. All we can really do is reject it when we see it, and ask that people using AI will do the same. 😢

Well, now that you heard me yap about my side of things, I’m gonna likely go back to my eternal slumber until I get a notification or smth. I had a few more things I wanted to mention, but I’ve gone on long enough, and Luke will probably have his own thoughts on this. Talk to you later! :]

You’re right. If you can distinguish Handmade Images from AI images.

I also have especially noticed that the amount of ai generators being made are insane and this makes me nervous about what’s gonna happen when they integrate to more physical stuff like a more advanced alexa

the main issue with it is the repetitive use of the rock tile - this makes the screen really noisy and also doesn’t draw your eye to elements like the player or gems and such. i reccomend only tiling areas which border the empty space

a great example is with @ADM_F’s upcoming game Kentonia Isles!

a great thing to do is to remove orphan pixels and try to cluster them into more purposeful shading to reduce the noisiness of the tileset

- orphan pixels are isolated pixels not connected to anything

Ok everyone has written an essay, ig its my turn now..

# Point 1. Lack of creativity
Creativity is fun and fuel. Without it, we humans aren't humans. I feel (and i hope many others do) that using AI takes away for the need of your right side of your brain (the creative part) Even if you're kinda lazy, you could just try out doing it yourself because:  

- It’s fun
- It’s useful
- It’s productive.

* * *

# Point 2: Lack of personality
One sentence here: It's John doe's work, not yours. Everyone will say, "Wow, John! Your art is great" and it's not really your's because you \*commissioned\* it. 
* * *

# Point 3: Doesn't come from your heart
You can write a passionate lore on the forums like TMF3 and we love that! But if AI write's it, do you really mean it if in the game you say, "The forum is a nice place"?  
  
Another example. If \*AI\* wrote \*\*THIS\*\* post, (which it didn't), do I really mean it? This is a message from ME, not some LLM which basically squashes bits of the internet into one message. 
* * *
  
  
  

## Thank you.

that is so clearly AI generated.

what is this even supposed to be?

that controller and the second icon makes no sense.

these icons are getting strange and i’m pretty sure the makecode forums doesnt have its own cup shaped like that.

i cant even decipher what these are supposed to be.

thats a microphone icon at best.
