Contains AI generated content

sucks

There are some cool ideas, but why vibe the whole thing :\

Not my vibe

Slop

I completely fail to see what the point of productions like this is. The graphics are AI generated, the music is a bunch of old tunes and the code is AI generated, the effects and design are derivative (and the pacing / flow of the demo is slow). It's like a very average C64 demo from 20 years ago, but without even the effort of doing it by hand. At least that way there would be some level of "craft" involved.

As a sidenote before anyone points it out: there is of course nothing new about re-using other people's tunes, graphics or code, the very first demos / crack intros etc were prone to doing that. That aspect has always been around. But rarely it's been so that there is nearly nothing of "value added" in a production of this size by whomever put it together.

What I would like to truly understand is what exactly is the creative part here (and in similar AI-creations). What is the spark, the essence or idea the author had, apart from "make a generic demo with some 'math stuff'" and what kind of sense of accomplishment can one gain from producing something like this. As it stands, I am unable to wrap my brain around the mindset that could see any fun in this.

I'd ask my AI agent to watch and summarize it for me, but I ran out of tokens.

The future is not here.

Based on the credits listed in the CSDb, it seems that the "creator’s" only contribution was turning on the machine. I hate giving "sucks" ratings, but I just can’t get support this. Isn’t it a better feeling to learn and grow? To create by putting something of yourself into it—your creativity, your experiences?

and finally, a quote from the CSDb: "The era of the posers"

wth again

I'm going to give a "thumbs up" for at least being honest about how this was made. Something that other productions often lack, IMHO.

Slöp.

I like some of the wordplays. Hopefully those were human ideas at least.

@ccr: Way back in the nineties me and my friends made an amiga „megademo“ only consisting of demos made with demomakers, because no one of us was able to code. Maybe if there was something like the internet at this time we would have uploaded it to a site like pouet too. But we made the gfx and music ourselves at least. So to answer your question I think the fun in making a prod like „sine fiction“ is to have an idea and develop it on your own without the months/years of learning the tools. The gfx alone in this would be a huge(!) amount of work if it done by a human. The only thing which I find inconsistent is that the music wasn’t done by AI too.

Why? Because the idea is so marvelous?

Don't really get the comments but wouldn't it be ultra consistent, if the wordplays were by AI also?

From Sir Art's comment on CSDB:

Emphasis mine. This is what I have been suspecting for a while, that this stuff costs a lot of money to produce. This is the saddest part of the whole problem, that people are throwing their money away for the sake of saving time they could have spent learning or interacting anyway (i.e. becoming more independent). These AI slop demos do not result from an act of creation or an act of production, but from an act of consumption.

At least the financial part puts a limit on the amount of slop produced, for now.

If these people are working in tech then they're probably using their company tokens.

Why? Because you can?
It is so funny, your nick and what you are doing.

Sir, this is a Wendy's

okay?

@serp: Fair point.
