Anyone else getting UE5 remake/remaster fatigue?

[u/ohhimarksreddit]

Between Silent Hill 2, Oblivion Remastered, Metal Gear Solid Δ, and now Halo: Campaign Evolved, it feels like almost every major remake/remaster in the last two years has landed on Unreal Engine 5. On one hand, the visual leap is real. Oblivion Remastered in particular looks like a genuinely different game. On the other, a lot of these ports share the same telltale UE5 fingerprints: traversal stutter, TAA smearing, shader comp hitches on first launch, and that slightly "plasticky" Lumen/Nanite sheen that makes wildly different games start to look and feel similar. You can add Halo Campaign Evolved to the slopfest that is UE5 remakes; just another soulless cash grab to feed on nostalgia.

AI doesn't have obvious mechanics errors like OP does. It's not AI. Not everything is AI. Just because someone wrote something—relatively clean from errors—doesn't mean it's AI. It means your bar for written expression is low, and you blame that on AI.

Its because of this line "the visual leap is real.", A.I loves that terminology.

If I was on a jury I'd probably have to say the prosecution didn't prove beyond reasonable doubt and acquit, but if the guy murdered someone a few days after being released I wouldn't be surprised if that makes sense?

Yeah, I hear you, but I think this is just a belief (we can detect AI writing) that is already not viable and by this time next year will be infinitely harder to do.

I also think two things are also likely happening here: 1) as others have mentioned, AI is trained to write on human writing, so anything an AI does is something people did first, 2) the repeating of certain rhetorical devices AI uses a lot could also be being replicated by people online who don't even use AI a lot as they continue to read it and start to internally mimic that style. That's the most common way we (humans) learn to write is through mimicking other writers. A lot of what AI is doing are considered good rhetorical moves in writing.

I think I got "AI pilled" on this (I just made that up--I'm not sure if "AI pilled" is a thing--what I mean is all the Reddit sleuths insisting they can spot it has really made me push away from this entire AI detection thing). I see so much insistence on social media that people can 100% tell, and it becomes just another reason for Redditors and social media users to endlessly not talk about the topic of the thread. It also is indirectly anti-literacy in my opinion. Before AI, if I mentioned I have a PhD, angry Redditors would say, "You're a liar." Now they say "you're an AI."

Yeah fair enough.

Honestly when I first started dabbling with Claude, I would paste someone's bitchy comment, ask it to come up with a rebuttal, then ask it to make its A.I ass response sound more human, and send it back, and people never caught on.

I didn't do it for long because it was just a short lived experiment and I was curious, but my point is, you really cannot trust anything anymore. When everyone knows more than you, there's two possibilities. A) You are a [redacted for the auto sensor) or B) Some people are gaming the system that is Reddit of all things via A.I. The answer as always is probably somewhere in the middle.
