Two-person indie studio Chequered Ink launched a pack of 10,000 game assets to “give budding developers an alternative to AI”, which includes over 9,000 graphics for platformers, RPGs, puzzle games, board games, and more, as well as over 700 sound effects.
What are the odds that this wasn’t all immediately added to AI training data?
It costs money, so middling.
But the point isn’t to prevent AI trainers from scraping it, it’s to provide alternatives to artificially-generated assets.
