Indie devs are in a tough spot: don't use AI, and watch everyone else ship games x5 faster than you or use it and be damned. I don't think there are many coders left that are not using AI agents for coding right now, it's just that effective (been coding games for 28 years, professionally for 20)

absolute bullshit thing to say dude. it literally does not do that

Like, proof required for the "ship 5x faster than you" thing pls.

it would also be much easier and faster to make a game if i plagiarized a lotta shit also

This is all that people never used and don't know these systems have to say, it doesn't work that way, if you think all it does is scan the web and copy stuff you are talking with no idea of reality

it is always "woe is me I'd simply be stupid if I didn't use AI haha I HATE it obviously but if I didn't use it I'd e FUCKED, right? Don't you agree? AI makes you 20x more productive after all. No, obviously training a math algorithm on artist's work isn't plagiarism. Aren't humans math too?!"

I haven't made any of those arguments, I have an even worse take: I believe information should be free for everyone, old school hacker manifesto

Nuance and not thinking in black and white dude, bad shit is often not 100% bad and same for good stuff, and AI is being applied to a ton of different things, e.g. Medical research, there's a lot of very bad shit, a lot of slop and definitely a bubble, but it will stay, it's not all bullshit

Conflating machine learning applied to problem-specific data sets with genAI in order to imply that LLMs being used in medical research is a good thing, is not an approach that makes me confident someone'd honest or understands LLMs.

For clarity, LLMs should not be used in medical research or practice, ever, because an LLM cannot accept responsibility but that's exactly why people are pushing for LLM tools in medicine. All backed by the same spurious "it helps busy professionals save time" bullshit.
