try to carefully use an LLM to do a thing -> "you're an idiot" try to carefully describe the ways you tried to be rigorous about using an LLM to do a thing -> "well you're clearly not an average user" try to carefully describe the ways you try to help average users use LLMs do a thing -> 😡🔪🔪 etc

But seriously, "AI can help people get into game development by letting them do game design experiments right away instead of them running into this technical cliff they have to spent a lot of time scaling before practicing the skill that actually interests them" feels... very obvious?

But a lot of people screamed at me for saying it and I'm still kinda mad about that.

but it was really hard to scale that technical cliff and im not sure im comfortable with the idea that scaling it was a choice and not a necessity

I think it's possible to distinguish between "these types of learning are necessary" and "this is the only way to get them" tho!

Real game devs write hardware-specific code in assembly. No engines allowed. Godot and Unity are cognitive offloading.

Okay so that is actually the literal point that I very sarcastically made. Because yeah! We do not judge games by the degree to which their code was written by the developers! We never have! That's not a thing!
