I've told you this once and I'll say it again: use AI to your advantage. You sometimes complain about pain or lack of time; let technology help you. Don't be selfish enough to refuse a tool that can help you. Updates will be faster, and you won't be as worn out. I'm looking forward to the next update. Think carefully about what I'm saying. Get well soon to your neck, and have a great week!
if you've told me before I'm sure I've answered you before. I do not, ever, intend to use generative AI as it currently exists in my workflow. It is exploitative, unethical software. I am not interested in a shortcut that does the thing I enjoy doing for me, is inconsistent and random in its results, and would make me feel like shit for using it.
You can use GEN AI but very minimal. You can give it your own ideas and have them critique it. I am talking not from the art or story perspective but the coding part.
If you think the code is too random, its up to you but you can give it definitive boundaries and review as you go.
P.S.
I hope your pain has lowered
I appreciate the commitment to not using AI, it's unethical and can't create anything of sufficient quality. I don't even use it to code, because it quite frankly produces subpar code. You'll spend more time trying to get it to produce something you can use than if you had just made it yourself.
I would much rather a developer take their time to build everything by hand, in a way that is both comfortable and healthy for them, even if it means it takes longer to develop; so please, take your time and don't sacrifice your well-being or your morals. We appreciate all the amazing work you've done!
