I am never going to believe this tag, because if your game has code and was written since the start of 2025, you will not convince me Gen AI wasn't used in the coding process at bare min. I work with devs, I know how much people will just grab and use it without even thinking about it. IDEs come with features pre-enabled to help with autocomplete powered by Gen AI, basically everyone is using it in one way or another.
The chance that none of your team of developers on your project arent even at minimum doing basic querying gippity on stuff, is... so low
IF you tell your devs they cant use it, they'll still use it but just not tell you they are using it, they'll just open up gippity on a second laptop and use it that way if forced to.
Now to be fair, there is a massive difference between using the fancy "AI" autocomplete to fill out the rest of a line when writing a function or something. And actually generating music, voice acting, art, etc.
That's at least where I personally draw the line between proper generative content and not. Partly because the autocomplete is possible without any form of ML. Some of the suggestions are often of similar quality as ones I got in Dreamweaver over twenty years ago.
Jep, that's something that bothers me now, every algrorithm or autocomplete is now also branded as "with ai support". I don't need ai to add the 'if name =="main" stuff in my python file IDEs (or even lightly advanced text editors) can add that stuff since long before LLMs where a thing...
So just... fuck indie devs? What's the point you want to say?
This is a bit of a tangent but this is a big part of why I didn't get back into software dev after my team was let go. My old company is basically just a genAI shitshow these days and the entire culture in that industry is fucked.
I'm still in a role adjacent to what I used to do, but I'm much happier here even if it pays substantially less.
