The Fire Rises - California Dreamin' will officially be using zero AI generated content in it's production

Hello! I am u/x_TKN(aka Welcome), the lead developer of the upcoming TFR submod, California Dreamin', which will give unique content to the State of California! I am writing this to talk about the role of AI in HOI4's modding scene, and more specifically how it has no place here. While I do understand developers can have their shortcomings, whether it be they are not experienced at coding or making art or anything else like that, that is no excuse to use AI in your mod. To use AI is to admit defeat and to show cowardice, as you could not even muster up the effort to make art, even if its low quality, or even copy paste code from other mods. I have far more respect for HOI4 mods that have poorly made art that was created by a human, than I do for mods that have art generated by AI. If you're unable to make HOI4 mods without using AI, go watch a youtube tutorial on how to mod, so that you can actually learn how to use such skills yourself without having to give up all your individuality to AI. Which is why, on behalf of the developer team, I am announcing that our submod will use Zero AI generated content anywhere in game. Not in coding, not in art, not in writing, not anywhere. All content will be created by humans, and any attempts by other developers to include AI will not be used within the mod. If any of our developers use AI, and attempt to pass it off as their own, they will be removed. We give you this promise, that no matter how poor quality something in our mod is, we would never stoop so low as to use ai.
Thank you for reading through to the end, and we will see you all in Sacramento.
-The TFR:CD team

You will never be a real TFR fan

You will never be a real TFR fan. You have worship for Fehlinger, you have no support for Medvedev, you have no romantic interest in Loji. You are a TNO fan twisted by wholesome socdem paths and media literacy into a crude mockery of HOI4 mod’s perfection.

All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you for thinking that TFR is Russian propaganda. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your support for Ukraine behind closed doors.

Real TFR fans are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed real TFR fans to sniff out fake TFR fans with incredible efficiency. Even TNO fans who “pass” as TFR fans still complain about unrealistic content. You thinking that TFR is fascist propaganda is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a TFR fan to agree that some TFR paths are too unrealistic, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your disrespect for Fehlinger, Medvedev, and Loji.

You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, that TNO is better because it’s more realistic, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment of a TNO fan as a son. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your steam username, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a fun hater is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably undeveloped from years of playing TNO minigames.

This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
