I do this solely for pleasure, out of desire and to experiment with AI.
I have no intention of denigrating the work done by developers or artists. I do not derive any financial benefit from it whatsoever.
I do not accept donations and I do not charge anything. On the contrary, it costs me personally for the multiplayer server.
I consider that, as such, I owe nothing to anyone, and I still give my time to improve the game for the players who are on it every day.
AI is just a tool, your internet searches consume just as much. As for the AI taking jobs, it's comparable to the advent of car technology. Did everyone who had animal-drawn carts end up unemployed? No, they adapted. Criticism is always easier. Whether some people like it or not, it won't stop and I wont stop.
If you manage to be so critical of a tool... your problem, not mine. Sorry.
