People don’t even look at AI generated photos for more than a second. “Oh neat, next.” SO much wasted electricity for instant garbage. One decent AI image has probably a 100+ shitty ones that are just wasting GPUs and hard drive space. When those drives are full and old they dump them and then fill up some more. A mountain of invisible shit wasting our resources.

The amount of energy it must take to generate a shitty version of Quake II. Yeesh.

The only negative opinions I care about for gaming usually come from Stephanie Sterling, because she’s pretty much right every time.

I’m pretty sure they technically are but no one cares enough to stop their sale. Obama banned “vape flavorings targeting children” which all of them seem to be. I’ve only seen them for sale in vape/tobacco shops. Places that get regulated, like gas stations, aren’t carrying them. At least around where I am in the USA.

Edit. Doing further research… I guess they didn’t?
