'We support the work of those who are trying to limit the harm generative AI is doing to videogames and our world, and apologise that Big Walk’s LLM usage may not meet their standards'
I don‘t think they justify it that way. It‘s just the reality that you are competing against other studios who use everything they can get their hands on too. Developers are more lenient about that stuff in general because many of then copy/pasted stuff from Stackoverflow and the likes plenty times before. For them using a chatbot isn‘t that much of a difference.
The problem is that the rules in this game of capitalism are rigged to pit us against each other so we keep making egotistical, individual decisions. I think this is a prime example of that. It seems pragmatic to vibe code even when it makes things worse for everyone. Be it because AI causes mass layoffs or environmental destruction or because it funnels even more resources towards the overly rich.
I don‘t necessarily think the devs are at fault here. We need better rules and I think at least some of them would agree.
Then there is of course cuck coding or cuck development where you essentially tell Claude to take care of everything, including project management and assets while you take on the role of the „ideas“ guy (who usually never had an original idea in their life). That approach is messed up and I draw the line before that because nothing of value is created here. Just copies of copies of copies.
It’s like people are hearing the “everyone is doing it” refrain for the first time in their lives.
What a bad reason to justify anything.
