Except that we told them. Repeatedly. Those warnings and cautions were met with insults and put downs by @doublevr, along with bans on SLR discussion boards and complaints to the moderaters here that they were being “harrassed”.
Another thing we pointed out, repeatedly. All of their actions reveal a clear pattern of doing whatever they want to maximize profits, while claiming that what they are doing is in service to the customer.
This would make things immensely better, but don’t hold your breath waiting for it to happen.
Again - if their purpose was what they said it was, this makes perfect sense. But their goal is to suck up every last dollar possible while pretending they are your friend, so this won’t get implemented either.
Just to be clear, I’m kind of okay with SLR making AI scripts available, even if they knew that it would impact scripters. This was inevitable, you can’t stop those kinds of advancement.
Scripters had to take that ‘blow’ at some point.
Part of the script consumers will be satisfied by the AI scripts which reduce the size of the market for quality script. I’m guessing people who are mostly interested in grinding actions where the AI does a good enough job and let them pick the scene/actress they like (which is fine btw, it’s their choice).
It still leaves a lot of potential consumers who will always prefer a script that can be immersive from start to end.
So, what’s bugging me, especially if it’s intentional or considered a lower priority than working on the next iteration of AI scripts, is that, on top of that, SLR has made it harder for customers to find hand-crafted scripts. This is another blow to the scripters… when they are already down.
The same scripters that made SLR a destination for script lovers for the last few years…
The handcrafted scripts are still there, and available elsewhere as well. Sure their navigation could be better, but as they have said, they are working on it. This is just like everything else in the world. You have people that won’t eat fast food at all and people who eat at taco bell every day. You have beer snobs and people who drink bud light. You have car enthusiasts and people who drive around on flat tires with all their dash lights on. SLR is a business. They can adapt that business to fulfill the desires of the masses, or they can sacrifice profits in order to satisfy script snobs.
I will never understand people who take the time to defend companies that intentionally cheapen their products to the bare minimum of what people will pay for. Their sole intention is to get your money while delivering as little as possible to you in returm.
What possesses people to white knight for these folks? They aren’t your friends, and they don’t care about you. Their policies are actively hurting scripters - individuals who work very hard to deliver a quality product - and community members who want a quality product for their money.
They come over here to pick the brains of people who know how to script, with the intention of developing an AI that will allow them to duplicate their work just well enough so that they can sell it without having to pay anyone. Doesn’t that strike you as just a bit immoral? Unethical? And then they ask us to troubleshoot and critique their product (again, for free) so that they can make it just good enopugh to put the good people here out of a job.
“script snobs” smfh
Go defend SLR on their forums. We should be advocating for people here, not predatory companies.
Thank you everyone for your feedback. I would like to make it clear that we are working on a better sorting system for scripts, I will post here when we have a fix in place.
This is a real shame, and I hope it is only temporary.
Surely having not consistent quality is better than having absolutely zero quality?
Maybe just a warning like ‘Due to censoring we can not gurantee consistent quality with these AI scripts. Use at own risk’
Why am i only seeing the blue AI icon on thumbnails for videos that have both AI and human scripts available? Shouldn’t they have both blue and green interactive icons?
When can we start hoping for AI JAV scripts from SLR again? I mean, i bought several AI, non JAV and JAV and didnt think the sceipts were terrible or anything. Just script them videos! Yall got like 7000 videos just waiting for scripts and some of those scenes are more wild than the non JAV. Stop neglecting this niche.
