A game that was well on its way to my 2026 goty list turns out is using AI. There was no steam disclosure, and the explanation has big "we didn't use it for the things we care about" energy that we gotta stop doing, man Generative AI is truly a radioactive thing that poisons everything it touches
i love coding for a living and the idea that i would willingly spend my time just reviewing code that a machine spat out is so insane to me i want to MAKE things with my HANDS
sorry, code is fucking beautiful. its fucking magical i can type words in the thing and fucking TRIANGLES just appear ? oops i typed it wrong and the triangles did something i didn't EXPECT ?? now weird shit is happening ?? this is the best shit of all time. i was born to fight the computer

I frequently see "AI" boosters implying that LLMs are simply an innate and superior part of coding now, inescapable, and that literally all programmers agree with them. And, well. That, too, is a form of propaganda

imagine being an established art team at an award winning studio and one day they trot in a guy who cheerfully says he's gonna Implant AI Tools Into Your Existing Workflow and Build an AI Art Pipeline. no matter how professional they remain, with craft gone your art team is gonna mentally check out
