    So Roblox is already complete shit exploitation machine but adding in this crutch as you put it to kids that are in the one of the most influential part of their development and making this the norm and to not develop any skills, to accept slop as art and not developing their own style and stunting their ability before it gets a chance to develop.

    To use your own analogy, I see it as giving a perfectly able kid a crutch and teaching them that’s how to properly walk. You get fucked up adults that can never run.

      I’m sorry but I really don’t see how anyone working in that environment is going to “develop the skills” to do semi realistic 3D rendering at scale. That’s not just skill, it’s access to resources, manpower and time. It’s not the same thing as encouraging someone to learn to draw or write instead of using AI. These just stuff aren’t comparable situations. I wouldn’t tell someone to hand craft their own injection moulds instead of 3D printing.

      No arguments on Roblox being horrible and exploitative, I’m not encouraging anyone to use it, but that’s not really the point here, is it?

      You tell 'em! They should ban RPG Maker too! Those aren’t real games! And Source Filmmaker next! Real porn artists use Blender, as God intended!

          According to their sentiment you should have been bettering your mind by learning with a real tool.

            This would be referred to as Divide and Conquer fallacy. Trying to make SFM/Roblox users feel attacked, when the comment only directly criticizes use of generative AI in artwork.

            Defend your own position. Don’t try to group others into it if they’re not interested.

          I’d say it was that boomer complaining about Roblox being a dumb kid’s game rather than a 24/7 grindset hustle tool for learning new skills. I wonder if they say the same thing about The Sims not teaching real job skills.
