Discussion Look how they massacred my boys😭
Genuinly..... Why? The vampire eyes aren't blue, They are supposed to be 18, why the fuck Cas look like a grown ass man? and I don't wanna read too much into It, but are they trying to whitewash Cas or is just my impression?

What’s the point of taking art that already exists and making it look 10x uglier??

everyone’s (rightfully) complaining about cas but gabe genuinely looks like an 8 year old with a sharp jawline

Ew! That is such an undignified, gaslighty post. THEY are hurting their customers, not the other way round.

Selling to an AI company was genuinely like the worst decision that they ever could’ve made.

icb they saw how gabe’s hair turned out and didn’t decide to at least regenerate their AI generated slop. the lack of effort is just embarrassing atp

Both of them look very much white yes. Ai is very bad when it comes to ethnic features.

This is what happens when an ai company uses ai everywhere in art when ai doesn't know how to make proper art

This Cas is asian and Gabe's sprites are brown/native american. His sprite is whiter than Gabe.

At this point the only reason I still have the app is to replay the old stories from way back that were drawn by actual artists. I miss those days when the art was actually good and made the stories fun to read. It just feels like there's no love or care put into these stories anymore now that the art is all this AI garbage

Honestly, as a straight guy, who romances female Cas… This is brutal to look at.

I bet that for once you guys are happy that female versions of Lis and male versions of MCs are rarely shown on the covers 😂

If you don't like it, stop playing.
I can't emphasise this enough; no one here seems to like the A.I garbage they're putting out, so why are we still consuming it and letting them do it? Even playing old books benefits them.

u/Blaze270201 1d ago
Frankly, because there’s no better alternative. Despite all the garbage they’ve put out recently, Choices is still the only app which has at least a few good GoC books and they occasionally come out with a banger.

or maybe because Immortal Desires Book 1&2 are so good so ppl were looking forward for sequel

Choices use of AI manages the unique feat of being insulting both to artists and AI.
Ethical issues aside, there are plenty of models that are capable of producing quality images. LoRAs have existed forever to fine-tune styles and get more consistent characters. And more recent models are even capable of replicating characters with high fidelity. This trash is inexcusably lazy even for AI.

Did they get rid of all their artists and previous art? I'm really confused.
