A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Should be calling Minecraft 'very shitty FPS dwarf fortress without any dwarves'.

Minecraft and Terraria are more similar than Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress.

They're not similar at all though. I know it was an inspiration. It's like calling Minecraft and Infiniminer clone derogatorily, which is what Minecraft was first described as (but not derogatorily).

I'm not sure I'm getting my point across very well, though. Calling shooters "doom clones" is still over simplifying the comparisons, yeah, they're still very different games, but my point is that they're still the same genre of game. I would not consider Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress the same genre. In Minecraft you control a single character. In Dwarf Fortress you give orders to a colony. Even the Dwarf Fortress Adventurer mode is still extremely different from Minecraft. You can pick aspects about your character, you have a variety of stats, etc. It's more of an RPG. Still a very different genre.
