One of the reviews on Steam mentioned that the AI uses NVidia tech that isn't available on AMD graphics cards. Is that true?

That's great to hear about their implementation but sadly I just still cannot get behind it right now. It's a tough one for me because I do like a Sims competitor coming out and hope they do well for other reasons. As for the woke stuff, that's just the gaming sphere in general these days it seems.

genAI apologists are so similar in mentality to the police bootlickers that regurgitate police news statements as if they're the truth.

Krafton is lying to you and just because you saw them throw in an "ethical AI" buzzword you fell for it because you've been conditioned to be gullible and politically neutral when it comes to worker exploitation in the industry.

They've been caught ethicalwashing their Stable Diffusion use as being "an in-house proprietary model". SD is the farthest thing possible from "ethical" genAI (it's inherently an oxymoron anyways).

Here is them on YouTube boasting about how many workers they can lay off now that they've adopted outsourced exploited labor from outside artists for free.

I remember when I first heard of Paralives. I was just some guy doing a small game as a hobby but I was listening to players feedback and promising all sorts of stuff and what was originally supposed to be a two month project had already been going on for several years.

I joined the Paralives discord and immediately realized: "they clearly have no idea how much work they are going to have to do to keep the promises they are making" - just like I was years prior - except their game was a lot more ambitious than mine.

I'm happy to see that even though I was right, they followed through with it for all these years.

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.

Cool false equivalence. Why do you have to be snarky about someone just posting their personal opinion? I didn't even wax poetic about why no one should get it, just left my 0.02

Per Steam page:

AI Generated Content Disclosure The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Players can generate unique textures for character outfits and various items based on text input. They can also create 3D objects from image input, which can be used as interior decorations or accessories, and add distinctive motions to their Zoi using video input. Additionally, the actions and thoughts of Zois are controlled through sLM technology, enabling more engaging and intuitive interactions.

Krafton made this AI themselves using assets they either owned or were copyright-free that is run locally on your machine. This was announced when the demo was out. Not sure if that will change your mind but I don't see a problem with it.
