A touch of AI is all it takes to trigger backlash, as a promising new indie falls afoul of slop skeptics

Reply in thread

The problem is that there is no way of knowing (at first sight) if there was an earnest attempt. AI has a certain look to it, and that look has been associated with slop and shortcuts because of unbridled use of an imperfect technology. It makes sense that it would illicit a sense of revulsion. Also, people who lack the skills or time necessary to create a certain type of art are more likely to lack the ability or patience to properly judge the quality of that art. "Good enough" is rarely good enough.

What are some problems you've had switching from Google logins?

Any website giving even the mildest shit about security will send a verification email to your old email address when you set a new one. This email will usually specify your new email address.

If you're really concerned about Google having nothing on you, use a transitional proton or masked email, then change it again so their info is inaccurate. I personally don't care if Google knows my new email address; I'm satisfied just knowing they can't read what's sent to it anymore.
