If you're a Sims enjoyer, and #inZoi is making you curious, there are things you should be aware of. I, obviously, can't stop people from doing what they're going to do, but the developers behind inZoi have used generative AI for game art, and have it embedded in the game as a "feature"

This is something that's even worse that a random uninspired, creatively dead tech dude posting generative anime to Bluesky
This is a studio, choosing not to pay artists in a game where they absolutely used artists for at least _some_ of the assets.

EA hasn't deployed generative sludge into Sims 4, at least not yet. And while the game isn't perfect, at least they're not selling you sludge, like Krafton.

If it's going to become a trend that a majority of new games end up having some form of sludge as a replacement to hiring people to work for you, then I will simply buy way less games.
Because fuck em, that's why
