Gen AI hasn't really broken barriers in terms of creativity but it has certainly lowered barriers for what we accept as creative production. Why are people accepting mediocrity and slop so readily?

@GossiTheDog was anyone actually expecting a smooth launch after the hype?

@freakazoid from my experience that sounds similar some of the visual scripting tools we use. Grasshopper is popular amongst architects because one sequence of digits can represent anything from demographic data to physical description of a building depeending how you connect components and thereby change how everything is transcoded downstream. In some of my scripts I even throw in UI components to create interfaces or maybe some PDF generation logic. All driven by the same dataset at the very beginning.

@GossiTheDog super excited. Previous FS was impressive enough and no one was expecting such a huge leap. Totally agree. It's like they created an actual multiverse by mistake. Career mode is going to make it huge. People had to improv with mods, tools or just rp for immersion. Can't wait for it.

Always expected a competing search engine to replace Google but never imagined Google spending millions to kill their own product.
