Millionaire was Great, but later ones contain AI Generated images
We bought the Millionaire pack and loved it. The info and photos all looked genuine. So we got another and decided to go for Merivale Manor. It has AI generated images and audio clips. The audio clip is dreadful in the way the person enunciates and sounds really uncanny valley. It’s possibly written by AI as well. So disappointing. I know some people may think “so what?” But considering the immoral way AI has been trained I think it’s worth mentioning. Imagine seeing an uncanny photo in one of these of someone you know because the AI generator had their photo in its database? AI is also being used to create deepfakes and CP material. Major companies of it buying all the RAM before it’s made and making the world more expensive for everyone. No one should be supporting that by using it. A previous review did mention that people crying over AI need to “learn to read” so I checked everywhere to see if this was mentioned and it isn’t. If it’s made by AI it should be stated but these companies know that AI is terrible so basically deceiving the public. The site is also really barebones. To add to that why would you want to continue supporting a company that clearly, after initially putting effort in to create realistic case photos, decides to cheap out and lazily use AI images. There’s royalty free images out there and photo editing can be done if needed (the photos in the manor game did not have clues in them so any image could have been used…), They also couldn’t be bothered to edit the issues that show it’s AI as well (a neck tie being over a shirt collar instead of under for example). It’s sad that as they became successful, they decided to go down the cheap lazy money grabbing route instead. Also if the comment about “crying over AI” is in the defense of it ask yourself why you would want to support a company that doesn’t want to use their brains anymore to create like they did in their past ones? If you can’t come up with images without just asking an AI then why should anyone trust that they can come up with creative interesting cases to solve? I implore people to research why AI is bad and why it shouldn’t be supported in anyway. Sadly I doubt this company will cease using it.
