Everything that's a product of human creativity is art. Acting like it's either only certain things, or only the good things is just kind of pretentious. Madden? Art. Kid's fridge doodle? Art. The average terrible Transformers movie? Art. Mario? Art. A laptop? Art.
People like to get all snooty and twist the definition of art. But it has a definition. The product of human creativity. It's what it is. It's always been that.
What I don't understand is, on the Switch 1, legitimate users of the device never got banned, only the ones who were pirating things did. If they have the ability to know which is which, they shouldn't just be flagrantly banning anyone who so much as sticks one in their switch 2. I don't get how anyone can defend that past "they can do whatever they want to" or something.
I really wouldn't mind AI stuff being used anywhere if it was actually as good as an actual human being, but it's not, not even close, and almost everything they produce sucks. Even giving basic information usually is too tall of an order for AI. That being said, being mad it could take jobs has always been weird to me. Like, I get no one wants to see people lose jobs and such, but if something could theoretically be replaced by AI, and it be just as good or better (I know it isn't, this is hypothetical), then why not? Jobs shouldn't exist just for the sake of having jobs. If anything, that just shows the inherent failures of capitalism. Instead of being mad at AI, people need to get more and more angry at capitalism, IMO.
Look, I don't like key cards either, but some of you are really naive about this. If this wasn't an option, one of three things would happen: 1. download keys in a box, 2. Digital only, 3. They make the game more expensive to make up for the cost of the 64GB carts. The media these games are being put on in very much more expensive than the media disc based systems use, like, by a massive order of magnitudes, and even then, games often still make you download stuff with those. Like, year, sure, these are absolutely a cost cutting measure for devs, but in lieu of that, are you willing to pay $15-$20 more for a physical version of the key card games? It probably should be a made to order option or something for those people. But expecting these publishers to basically do you a solid out of the kindness of their hearts, while losing money on each copy sold is just insane. Capitalism is gonna capitalism. It is what it is.
