And since I think it should be known, yes, I have tried AI for coding, but I did not enjoy it. It was buggy, unpredictable and slowed me down, so I stopped using it.
This was only done on private, personal projects so SplameiPlay, SplameiBot, etc. have no AI usage.

This is heartbreaking to me, honestly.
These guys, who have been making games for 13 years, get review-bombed for using AI to help with game development.
The developers (only a few guys!) admitted to using AI to help solve their toughest technical issues and bugs. They said it contributed to maybe 0.1% of the code, by giving them starting points for their problems to modify BY HAND. (they’re still writing code by hand for gods sake)
It is childish and immoral to try to discredit their passion and efforts for their game for this.
I think frankly, if your opinion on using A TOOL for gamedev is this bad. you are simply uneducated on the topic and you should find other things to complain about.
They contacted someone who LITERALLY WORKS AT UNITY, AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW!
It was not the "simplest fix known to man" if not even someone at Unity knows how to fix it

Why are people mad at this?
Did they need to disclose? No
Was AI used for videos, music, images, etc? No
Was it used heavily in development? No
Its 10 lines of code, that no one, not even those who know Unity, could understand and fix. They did not need to disclose it but did.
Big Walk used AI in 'the final stretch' of development, kicking off intense awards debate:

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
House House used LLMs sparingly near the end of Big Walk's development, mainly to fix bugs in third-party code. They estimate well under 0.1% of the game's code was affected, and they didn't use generative AI elsewhere.

-Indie dev encounters issues at the end of their development cycle
-indie dev attempts to troubleshoot said issues
-indie dev consults the MANUFACTURER of their game engine, THEY can't solve their issues
-as a last-ditch effort to avoid shipping a game with a glitch they can't iron out, they spitball with an LLM
-surprisingly, LLM assists in workarounds that fix said issues
-despite not needing to disclose (per steam TOS), the dev is honest about their disclosure when nominated for awards to be transparent.
I would say House House did everything right. An LLM was used to solve problems humans could not. It didnt generate assets. It didnt infringe on the creative process.
I hate what AI, and particularly GenAI has done to the gaming industry, but this is a stupid fucking hill to die on. This isn't vibe coding. This isn't slop. This is what AI was SUPPOSED to do in industry.
Pick the right battles, people.

Can someone tell me why Windows updates, gives me all the new 25H2 stuff, I update again for a security update, and it's now all gone...

Unsurprising an old friend is on there, who blatantly use AI, I (and so did many) confronted them and they turned extremely aggressive towards me...
I won't say their name but you can probably find it.
List of AI 'vtubers' for you to block & blacklist!
('vtubers' who use ai, support ai, and encourage ai'
please dm names you found yourself --
dont harass any listed, just block & move on
threat to be continued

Out here proudly using 100% human made art, code and just a out everything!
VTUBERS!
Stop using AI art!
I’ve seen so many more Vtubers using AI art now, and it’s honestly disheartening.
Want emotes? Use emotelab
Want more art of your character? Use cheaper artists and/or enter free art raffles
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again. Artists built this community.
Commission real artists.
