Heard about the multiple sources corroborating that Big Walk used AI late during coding.

seems crazy to lump together AI images and AI coding. even if there's some ethical objection to AI coding it's a lot weaker and would apply at least as much to crunch coding

i use ai coding in game development and i don’t care who knows it

Lol. Lmao. So it looks like AI coding has been a thing long enough for the Consequences to crop up.
Like gee. Who could have possibly forseen this.

"I am anti-ai" until it's used to assist with coding and recompiling games, ignoring the wider issues with generative ai and how it impacts everyone. Suddenly, coding isn't an art form anymore cause I said so.

one thing that upsets me about The Discourse today is the idea that code doesn't matter, and it's fine to use AI for it because it's 'not creative'
coding is art. coding is poetry. fuck you.

Especially when they come from people who aren’t coding at all, with or without AI 😄

AI generated coding carries with it a whole host of harmful effects, just like all generative AI.

I rlly hate how people handwave AI for coding because "it's only coding", which implies coding is somehow a lesser part of what goes into making games? If you aren't willing to put in the work, you don't deserve a game. I don't care how much you struggle with coding

The reason I despise AI is because I see programming as an art form. AI coding tools = AI image generators = AI writing tools.
The way these folks are talking about it matches the way that maximalists and normalisers talk about it. Maybe they're not that, I don't know. But distrust seems earned.

on one hand yes, using ai to fix bugs is not the same as vibe coding the whole thing
but ai is also a fundamentally rotten tech that represents the worst of capitalism. is it even possible to engage with something like that responsibly?
i dont have a good answer to that

Big Walk used AI in 'the final stretch' of development, kicking off intense awards debate:

the use of ai-assisted coding creates more dependence on ai-assisted coding as fewer developers are employed and the ones that are get increasingly deskilled, as evidenced by a unity engineer apparently not knowing anyone who knows how to cull shadows behind the camera

And its not even a good use. Coding is a Kind of Art too and if you dont understand it, you cant fix it. Every AI Bro should really life where the Data Centers are, I am sure they would stop to love AI.

I'm leaning toward "rigor" as the difference between vibeslop and Proper Good & Excellent AI Coding but I'd be interested to hear other opinions

so many otherwise outspoken leftists in indie dev and adjacent spaces, even self-described AI haters, have just accepted that using AI coding (which has existed for <2 years) is unavoidable, even good, and if you take any issue with it you're a puritan/a cop/crazy for caring. it's depressing

This is very clever. A bunch of ai models get much lower scores on a standard coding benchmark if you lowercase filenames: maxxbench.unlap.ai/research/why...

Coding deserves to be treated like an art form.
It’s extremely important when making games. So sad that AI is ruining it!

And the AI use is bug analysis. It's not like they are vibe coding or doing AI art gen. Troubleshooting bugs is a pretty reasonable use of llms.

being financially unstable and still tilling away at learning coding and new animation programs on my own while the AI slop gets more and more bountiful and covert is making me feel like I'm going insane.

People saying coding is the "good" use of AI have chosen which creative jobs they do not care about, and are willing to throw under the bus. They can fuck off with that bullshit.
