I LOVE how it mentions that there may be another way to a vaccine that doesn't involve killing Ellie. That's something not a lot of people bring up whenever I see discussions about it. These doctors who think it is the only way, and that only this ONE GUY can do it correctly, are extremely short-sighted.
I also asked ChatGPT this same question and it gave mostly the same result, but it did bring up another thing I've somehow never thought of before. Why the hell do they have to remove so much that it would kill her? I looked around a bit and found this post.
My answer is a resounding NO. I think it is pretty clear that the people writing The Last of Us and especially Part 2 really did not fully grasp what they were writing and tried to push things a certain way for plot convenience.
I gave Grok a plot synopsis of The Last of Us and then asked what the most ethical decision would be at the ending: saving Ellie or letting the Fireflies perform the surgery on her to potentially get a vaccine?
I felt like it didn't quite understand what "fight through the hospital against armed guards" meant, so I gave it additional context. So the first picture is without that context, and the second is with. There were much larger descriptions since it goes through its entire thought process before the summary at the end, but I included just the summary for brevity's sake.
@Soy_Magnus @mikuphile the layers!!!!!
@ninja8tyu it's like the whole "oh it's an attractive woman so it just be gooner material"
Damn I'm gonna have to wait until the 5th instead of the midnight release. I'm working the night off the 4th ![]()
@ChristiJunior @rasterman for the most part, as a kid we got games for Christmas and sometimes for birthdays. My siblings and I would often strategize what games to ask for so we could get all we wanted haha. There was also a LOT of game renting, which made things a lot easier on my dad's wallet I'm sure. The only consoles I've ever gotten at launch were the ps4/ps4 pro, because I saved up for them. Everything else was always like a year after launch at least. People are acting extremely entitled about this whole thing man. Especially when I'm sure they've all been paying that much money for slop anyway.
@flux_the_cat maybe making a character whose name is their skin color black was a bad idea ![]()
