      Hard to avoid AI in the dev environment when every Windows updates to having copilot, even if you despise it.

      Code is just code and you can’t easily tell if a game has AI-written code in it. I mean, you can often tell if something is vibe-coded by just looking at the code, but it’s not necessarily all bad and also not taking away a programmers job.

      Edit. Is this somehow controversial?

      Sounds reasonable. I notice AI coding tools are more used as a code typing assistant and less like an agent that fully automates the development process (despite what the AI companies say).

      AI is the future, it’s like fighting the cellphone. This is just the Nokia 3310 version of AI we’ve got now

      Honestly this is reasonable and what I’ve been pushing for within the industry for a while… Not because I want to make excuses for people to be able to use AI but because as a creator it’s literally impossible to avoid AI being shoehorned into your non-player facing aspects of creation, automation, and pipelines because so many third parties make it unavoidable, like Google apps or Microsoft Office or Windows or even Unreal and Unity now.

      Actually a good move as I was always wondering to what degree it describes use of AI. I don’t think anyone minds the general use of AI as long as no assets make it into the final product and nobody gets replaced. And as long as they don’t pretend like AI is some form of artistic expression.

      Yeah, again, nobody cares about people using tools to speed up the creation of their own artwork.

      Using AI as a tool to help seems fine to me. I always thought that was it’s intended purpose.

      seems fair.

      a developer using Chatgpt for a code related question shouldn’t count as “AI development”.

      otherwise they would also need to disclose their usage of Google or StackOverflow.

      I’d rather it includes everything AI touches. I don’t trust the efficiency tools are doing it correctly.

      Realistically, there are three tags.

      1) “Lo, we have seen with our own human eyes, or heard with our own human ears, shit that is so wack that there’s just no fuckin’ way it’s not AI, dudes.”

      2) “The creators admitted they used AI, and, given the current subcultural climate, that almost certainly means they did.”

      3) “Honestly we have no fuckin’ idea, dudes. Sorry.”

      Take a few guesses as to what the breakdown would be.

      AI as an assistant or as a tool is fine to me. I have an issue with generative AI or AI made to simply reduce jobs for other people
