I hate the phrase “Made with AI” for many nested reasons. Some of which:
“AI” is a meaningless buzzword now.
“Made” to what extent? That could be anything line autocompletion to spammy vibecoding, from invisible diffusion prototyping/editing to horrific in-game visuals.
The tone is “Twitter accusatory.” It ropes in innocent, minimal tool usage with full-on spammers, with zero nuance.
Its a red herring for the fundamental issue: waves of games being spammy slop, which was a huge issue even before “AI.”
It also discounts the other ethical issues we were grappling with. If we are going to talk ethics, are we just going to forget what companies like EA or Blizzard and such have done?
This needs to be discussed like a spectrum, and whether the intent is malicious. Not as a purity test of “was any AI used making this game?”
Or the software stacks the gamers are running, for that matter. The APIs, the platforms… as examples, do people really think Valve isn’t using LLMs to develop Steam? Or Nvidia/AMD/Intel/Microsoft for their graphics stacks?
And I don’t mean that as a hostile “you participate in society?” thing, just that it’s inconsistent to judge “AI or no AI” as black and white.

Also, do we include dependencies too?
Because if we do… then almost every game is “Made with AI”, given now glibc has AI authored code in it too.

I fully support tagging the slop deluge with “Made with AI”.
It helps separate the low effort garbage from the artisan garbage
What is slop, though? What’s your definition?
Copy paste output without validation and/or effort.
That’s a good definition, in fact I am bookmarking that to remember later.
Slop is just low effort in my view.
So if you just generate with ai without any real thought, thats slop because it is low effort.
The people posting just the “never slop” kitto are low effort too.
Thanks for contributing nothing to the discussion. At this point LLMs are more insightful than you are.
…U mad bro?
I mean yeah, the person you’re replying to made it pretty clear they resent you
Which I agree with, you might as well be a bot
Are you serious?
