The promo image for the new playtest was AI generated. Can you guarantee that no AI is involved in your actual games?

(5 edits)

Do Not Read This Journal was published five years ago, long before AI tools like ChatGPT were even available, so I can assure you it is entirely human-made. My other game, Do Not Access This Log, did include 2 AI-generated images, which I clearly disclosed on the game page. Aside from those, none of my games involve AI.

And as the name suggests, it’s a “playtest.” It doesn’t always represent the final state of a project.

There's not rreally an ethical use for generative AI in its current form. That's gonna have to be a "no thanks" from me, and I'm not the only one feels that way. Pretty disappointing. 

I respect your stance, but I don’t share the view that there’s no ethical use for generative AI. Like any tool, it depends on how and where it’s applied, and I’ve been transparent about the very limited ways I’ve used it (excluding Do Not Read This Journal, which was published long before AI was even a thing). I appreciate your feedback, even if we disagree, though it saddens me to see all of my effort and creativity dismissed in such absolute terms.

Please feel free to reach out for a free copy of all my games, so you can judge my work for yourself before forming a final opinion.

Generative AI models exploit the work of creatives without credit or compensation, and uses profound amounts of energy to do what they do.

I get it, you don’t like generative AI. That’s a valid stance and I respect it. Still, it has nothing to do with Do Not Read This Journal, and I don’t want to drag this out any further. Thank you for your input.
