Fuck AI

If you label your stuff as ZERO gen ai being used in it, I would damn well expect you truly mean that.

Otherwise it is 100% false advertising.

And, as a result, I classify everyone who uses this label as false advertising, and as a result am 0% interested in buying their stuff.

There's a huge difference between AI Slop churning to produce a garbage product, vs trying to outright lie to me and try and pretend you didnt use AI at all to make your thing, in any way.

Thats just not how reality works.

You used it, admit you used it, everyone uses it, and thats fine

But theres a difference between using AI to make the output, vs making the output with AI

I give zero fucks if your team used, for example, AI to generate placeholder images for your game development to act as sort of templates for the developers, so you can make your game way faster, and then replaced them with real actual art made by humans, ensuring key things in the art are roughly in the same spots so stuff like hitboxes and etc still line up.

Or using AI generated music placeholders so you can asap start testing your sound engine actually works, as well as a way to convey vibes and what you want to your music engineers so they can make something better.

Or using AI to assist with generating the code for your project, because everyone already does that and you are huffing copium if you think the industry isnt rife with that already
