The First “AI” Visual Novel shows the flaws in the concept

Posted on October 28, 2025 by arianeb Leave a comment

Being in the Visual Novel development community, quite a few have wondered if it would be possible to integrate AI into a visual novel game. Instead of choices to choose from, an AI engine would be capable answering any question related to the situation, and any question not related as well.

It’s a big concept, and recently an independent game developer studio Anuttacon actually did it. The game is called Whispers from the Star

The Damage Done by Deepseek

A post I made on Reddit: OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Meta, Anthropic, and Nvidia (Yes, Nvidia too,) were building LLMs in hopes of controlling the market, maneuvering to become a monopoly in the AI marketplace. That goal is effectively dead, so is the goal of making ever more powerful LLMs with the goal of AGI, that dream died in November,

2024: So much for “Exponential Growth” in AI

Posted on November 13, 2024 by arianeb Leave a comment

Here’s the lessons we should all learn from the AI bubble just before it pops:

1. Big tech doesn’t give a crap about the usefulness of their products, only their perceived valuations from investors.
2. They are needlessly copying each others work, trying to make the “Next Big AI Breakthrough” so they can take over the market.
3. The general population doesn’t give a shit about AI. This is all a 0.1% problem.

The growing realization that AI isn’t great

Voicing Visual Novels with AI voices

Posted on July 16, 2023 by arianeb 3 comments

For the last few months, I’ve been experimenting with using AI voices to voice my visual novels. I started with Strip Crazy Eights, because it was a short game, and ended up not voicing the actual card game part.

That proved to me that voicing every line of every game was unworkable and unnecessary. It also proved to me it was worth doing.

AI’s Don’t know how to be “Awesome” (and will always suck)

Posted on June 1, 2023 by arianeb 2 comments

I came across a philosophical paper by Nick Ritter that defined “Awesomeness” and “Suckiness” and it seems to me that AI (Artificial Impersonation) is going to have a major problem with being awesome, and therefore AI will always suck.

After all the hype and scary talk about AI taking over the world, it is becoming clear that it is nothing but hype. As I predicted.

AI Rant 4: Things are changing too quickly

Posted on March 24, 2023 by arianeb Leave a comment

It is next to impossible to follow what the hell is going on in the AI world anymore. I don’t know if there is a huge rush to announce AI projects ASAP to try and get ahead of competition, or if things really are growing exponentially.

AI Rant #3: “AI” is just a shit buzzword

Posted on March 7, 2023 by arianeb 2 comments

Hot Take: “AI” is just a shit buzzword, like NFT, Crypto, and Metaverse, and won’t change anything before people lose interest. (And buzzword chasing investors lose billions, again.
