The problem /is/ AI usage. Period.
Even if you just use it responsibly for something minimal, it creates positive reinforcement for its usage for development.
Any and all positive reinforcement for its usage worsens the problem.

Refusing to compromise your morals and standing the line against harmful stuff like LLMs is not performative. It’s having a spine

This is what LLMs do. This is why I’m anti-genAI. Our most vulnerable communities suffer for it. The cost will always outweigh the benefits

This is what Elon Musk’s xAI is doing to people. This is why the people fight. @nonewdatacenters

"It's just a tool"
It's not. It's a service. One that AI CEOs are desperate to find an audience for after the massive backlash against gen ai art. It's consistent rhetoric also used by tech CEOs as they continue to eliminate jobs across all of tech. Code IS art.

"what's so bad about using gen ai as a tool"
THIS, this is why. if you cant create it without gen ai, you can't create it. simple as that. get off ur phone & actually learn a skill for once. people's peace & safety are at stake. not to mention the harms to clean water & air.

the problem IS AI usage. while you’re using AI to fix bugs or polish up your mod, the data center it’s running off is using up water and killing the environment
I just… don’t see this as the main issue we should be fighting?
The problem was never AI usage, but those who want to throw together slop in a day without intent behind it. A mod with clear art, planning, and thought behind it is still different from mountains of slop.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
US data centers used ~17B gallons water directly in 2023 (LBNL), vs US withdrawals of ~322B gal/day. AI queries use ~0.3 mL cooling water each (Google/OpenAI). Much less than golf (~531B gal/yr) or farms. Scale is small nationally.

it’s always “you don’t adapt you fall behind”
it’s always about competing with human work and trying to beat it down
I have no idea whats up with the big walk thing but i can't understand this.
Why is using AI for artistic work considered unacceptable, while using it for programming seems to be perfectly fine?
I've spent years learning how to code, improving my skills, and getting better at something I genuinely care about. Why is it suddenly okay to automate that part of my work, but not other creative fields?
Just to be clear, I'm not anti-AI. I think anyone working in this industry understands that using AI has almost become a necessity. If you don't adapt, you simply fall behind. Companies can replace you incredibly quickly if you can't keep up with the speed AI brings to the workflow.
I just find it strange how differently people treat AI depending on which part of the creative process it affects.
people are failing to realise the real lesson in all this is to Stop Fucking Using Unity
my fiancée has been having a great time ever since she switched to godot. it’s godoated 🔥
@godotengine please keep up the good work, and never go the same way as unity or unreal 🙏

i can see where the temptation of using AI comes from. but justifying even simple bugfixing will eventually lead to justifying its use for more and more things
With AI in game dev being a super hot discussion right now, I want to see how you all feel about this.
With YUNG's Roads nearing completion, I want to be completely transparent and say that I've been using AI (Claude Opus) to complete the mod and give it some extra polish. More specifically, I've used it for the following:
- refactoring & optimizing the road generation algorithm,
- code documentation,
- in-game testing,
- creation of an in-game Road Tuning screen for power users and modpack devs that allows you to customize road parameters and see worldgen changes in real-time (it's super cool, I might post some pics below),
and, most importantly, it has allowed me to overcome some technical bugs I was never able to solve myself.
If you don't know, I've been working on this mod on and off since like 2021. The reason it was never released is because I always got bogged down when trying to perfect the road gen algorithm, and I was never able to get it to quite match my vision. A few months ago I decided to run it through Claude and lo and behold, turns out there were some obscure bugs messing up the whole thing at a fundamental level. The type of bugs I truly never would have figured out on my own. Since then, I've been working on it nearly every day (using Claude), iterating and refining it.
The core algorithm is still my own creation, and the mod's creative vision is my own. But I had to use AI to actualize my vision.
All that is to say - should I even release this mod? I genuinely think people would love it. It's a super cool mod, highly polished, highly customizable. It's not low-quality slop, I can promise you that.
But I know a lot of people in this community disagree with any game/mod where AI was used in its creation, and I really don't want to be subjected to anti-AI witch hunting. I'm not trying to get involved in drama, I just like making cool mods for you guys. So I'm curious what you guys think.

AI has been around since November 2022.
Please tell me one thing it has developed in 4 years.
Just one ground breaking achievement.
You can't because there aren't any.
my fiancée and i happened to be in malaysia at just the right time when the UT symphony was happening there, and they were actually incredibly respectful
there was clapping and cheering for about 3 or 4 seconds at the start of each song, but then everyone went silent
