    “The people who advocate for AI” are literally running around claiming that AI is Jesus and it is sacrilege to stand against it.

    And by literally, I mean Peter Thiel is giving talks actually claiming this. This is not an exaggeration, this is not hyperbole.

    They are trying to recruit techno-cultists.

    Ironically, one of the defining features of the techno-cultists in Warhammer 40k is that they changed the acronym to mean "Abominable Intelligence" and not a single machine runs on anything more advanced than a calculator.

    Sci Fi keeps trying to teach us lessons, and instead we keep using it as an instruction manual.

    (Except, apparently, whenever it’s on the nose we interpret it as dramatic irony…)

    I think the grey area is what if you're an indie dev and did the entire story line and artwork yourself, but have the ai handle more complex coding.

    It is to our eyes entirely original but used AI. Where do you draw the line?

    Disclose the AI usage and how it was used. Let people decide. There will always be "no AI at all, ever" types that won't touch the game, but others will see that it was used as a tool rather than a replacement for creativity and will give it a chance.

    That's somewhat acceptable. The ideal use of AI is as a crutch - and I mean that literally. A tool that multiplies and supports your effort, but does not replace your effort or remove the need for it.

    How does this model collapse thing still get spread around? It's not true. Synthetic data has actually helped bots get smarter, not dumber. And if you think that all Gemini3 does is recycle idk what to tell you
