Good luck finding a dev that doesn't want to use/ isn't forced to use / doesn't lie about using AI tools.

Ar this point if we're to shun all AI tools we might just give up the hobby.

While on principle I don't care about people using llms to refactor code in my games, I still think that the AI is inevitable narrative is a bit jarring and that study in particular has a huge conflict of interest issue.

There's plenty of good games made before this gen AI nonsense started appearing.

Hi, dev here who doesn't use AI.

nothing is stopping me from making my own games without AI

It will be worse in the future, because young people growing up with Ai will find it 100% acceptable. Not everyone off course...

I have considered it many times.
