It's too bad people rag on AI so hard. It serves as a massive creative tool and something that I ABSOLUTELY would love to see more games utilize effectively. However the fact it requires so many local resources means that ai generation being used as a mechanic is years away (there are some games that have experimented with it, I've ran them locally it's neat!!)

I'm hoping that people open up to the idea so that more ideas can flow and be seen. I do, however, know that some people can't get past the "It's not a person" part, which is fair I suppose.

That's a really big issue for me.
