Amiibo Doctor is an online home for people who are into the weirdly niche aspects of certain video games that they may be interested in. Nearly all the content is written by myself, Amiibo “Doc” Doctor.
Our Stance on AI Content
AI content is, simply put, the end of economically viable content production in the short-term. There are a limited number of consumers per demographic and a limited number of advertising dollars to chase those consumers, so as the proportion of zero-cost AI content continues to rise, “handmade” content like this very website continues to shrink until it will never be seen at all, let alone turn a profit. Content producers must use AI or become unprofitable.
Fortunately, we don’t care. At Amiibo Doctor, our AI policy is to:
- Ensure that our written content is never AI-generated. While I, Doc, transcribe my thoughts and run it through an AI to correct transcription mistakes and speed up formatting, rest assured that all content on this site is mine (or I have permission to post it from the guest author), and is not only spoken by myself but also later edited by me, with no assistance from AI. We don’t do AI writing here.
- Ensure that our topical choices are not selected by an AI. We don’t care what some SEO AI thinks is the topic likely to grab the most clicks. Amiibo Doctor is here to cater to that kind of gamer that doesn’t know how to explain that they like weirdly niche gaming interests.
- Some images may occasionally be touched up by AI. I don’t do this often, as I have no desire to ask AI to generate in-game screenshots (how would one even do that?) but on occasions where I felt it contributes to the aesthetic quality of the post I’ve used an AI-generated asset in the featured image for that post. Here’s an example of a screenshot I took from a Tera Raid that I asked AI to convert to an oil painting:
As you can see, the original work is mine, but a piece like this might be used to add to the aesthetic of a piece. I don’t plan to ever use entirely AI-generated visuals for a post, though.
Our Dedication to Amiibo Training
Established in 2018, Amiibo Doctor is, first and foremost, the center of high-level competitive amiibo training content, although we take the liberty to produce content in other areas. The goal of Amiibo Doctor is, ultimately, introducing more people into high-level Smash Ultimate amiibo training and giving them the highest-quality amiibo information available anywhere in the world. We accomplish this through several methods:
- Information from the most accomplished experts on specific amiibo is compiled into our Master List of Training Guides. These experts are financially compensated for their expertise through Amiibo Doctor’s WordPress revenue.
- A volunteer staff of expert amiibo trainers and researchers create and evaluate the content on Amiibo Doctor. These are the Regular Contributors.
- Competitive amiibo trainers compete in international amiibo tournaments and report back to Amiibo Doctor their observations and results to continuously evaluate the quality of Amiibo Doctor content.
- Amiibo Doctor solicits opinions from the top competitors in competitive amiibo and publishes their opinions on competitive amiibo to democratize the best possible amiibo information.
We at Amiibo Doctor are very confident that this is the finest amiibo organization anywhere on the planet, and we have the tournament results, expertise and diverse set of qualified contributors to prove it.
