The newest chapter within the ongoing AI apocalypse that we’re inevitably headed in the direction of is so horrible that I needed to write about it.
A TikTok advert for free-to-play The First Descendant has been making the rounds on social media immediately, and I’m sort of shocked by it. The advert in query was noticed and re-posted by @MoxsyOG on Twitter/X, and it’s truthfully so terrible that it must be seen to be believed. The advert incorporates a completely pretend, horrendously-animated AI “content material creator” pitching the sport’s newest replace to their nonexistent followers, laid excessive of some gameplay. Fortunately, the advert has been deleted off of TikTok because it began going viral, however one has to surprise the way it even obtained posted within the first place. “Hey guys, the large F2P replace of the F2P looter shooter masterpiece The First Descendant has launched spectacularly,” the digital nightmare says, not even making an attempt to cover the farce that it’s. “In it, you play as a Descendant, trip a hover bike to discover the model new space of Axiom Plains, and may group up with teammates to struggle towards the boss Wall Crasher facet by facet.” As if this wasn’t dangerous sufficient, the advert is selling the sport’s collab with Nier Automata, so Platinum Video games is being dragged into this catastrophe as nicely. The entire thing is fairly disgusting and nonsensical. At no level within the video is any of it convincing or fascinating. The robo-voice struggles with its talking cadence in trying to recreate the vibe of any variety of these paid adverts you see with precise individuals in it. However no, writer Nexon couldn’t hassle with that, so it plugged its script into an AI to create an abomination. I’ve seen loads of AI adverts earlier than, and lots of different paid adverts that includes players performing captivated with it, however none have been this dangerous nor have I seen one from a writer as well-known as Nexon. Sadly, this rubbish is probably going solely going to worsen, so buckle up. A minimum of we will get some pleasure out of laughing at this trash and hope that different corporations don’t observe swimsuit. The First Descendant has a Combined ranking on Steam after launching final June, with many gamers lambasting the title for its grind and over-priced cosmetics.
