'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'
AI is a tool. A useful tool for software development. But with any tool, it’s possible to misuse it. With AI it’s easy to abuse it and get it to write everything for you and not think about the output. That usually ends up with bad code. You can also use it for debugging or code review or giving a solution to a tough technical problem that can be used as a starting point. That’s how these devs used it. That is a good way to use the tool.
Just because corporations overuse AI in software development doesn’t mean the tool is bad.
Note how pretty much every major piece of software has gotten less reliable and less user friendly in the last few years. There might be a connection…
I forgot the golden role of “ai bad”.

People have complained about this for as long as computers existed. It’s not a new development and not exclusive to LLM usage.
There is, but it’s not AI alone. It’s mostly the C-Suite trying to drown us in it.
