Since 2024, AI company Anthropic (owner of Claude) has spent tens of millions of dollars buying books en masse for destructive scanning, which they call 'Project Panama'. The world is flooded with so much AI slop that they cant use any modern books, so they consider pre-2022 and antique books a premium. They slice off the spines of each book, feed each page through a scanner to be fed to AI then dispose of these books through a shredder. Books which are the last of it's kind, survived wars, fires and centuries of wear: now lost to corporate greed.
Found out after purchasing that this game uses generative AI. I swear that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 'stupid fairy' wanted poster is AI generated (shown in the trailer), like it clearly doesn't use a consistent font as the letters look different from line to line, [i] especially [/i] the 'W' in 'REWARD' which has 2 criss-crossed lines in the middle. And yes, I know some people write W like that (e.g. the Wikipedia logo), but if that's how the artist writes 'W's, then why isn't it present in the big 'WANTED' at the top? Also the bottom line just has random capitalised letters, and even the letters in the logo like 'L' and 'B' look off. Using AI just for 'refinement' and spelling mistakes was an obvious lie.
You cannot love books and buy this game in good faith.
(also I am 90% sure this game partnered with Jestr for advertisement, as that is how I found out about the game in the first place, an undisclosed advertisement from a creator featured in this video: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l84V9olZN4A] Exposing a Massive "Cozy Game" Scam [/url] where many creators promoted games without disclosing that it was a paid advertisement. Giving the benefit of the doubt, its possible the devs didn't know about Jestr's shady business practices, but if I knew that it was a paid advertisement and not a genuine review, then I probably wouldn't have bought the game.)
