Someone just asked if You Have Died is vibe coded and it really rankles me to be asked this.

@eniko "No, I prefer my creative struggle to be raw"

[aka_dude@mk.phreedom.club]

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place that sounds... ambiguous

You should put AI in your next game.
As in, a character in the game that happens to be sentient AI.
Just as a joke.
"The only good AIs in videogames are robot characters."

@eniko i try to get around the problem by peppering the lore with things clearly meant to disparage AI plus an agents.md obviously meant to be obnoxious and dismissive

@eniko

It really sucks that generative AI is causing people to NOT trust the authors of creative work.

I also experience anxiety that some people are going to accuse me for using GenAI when I didn't and all of my artworks are human-made, though if it happens, I still have the original KRA files with layers since I keep copy of them even after exporting to PNG.

Honestly, the world was a much better place before generative AI came in.

Can't believe we have to worry about people being skeptical of our creative works, so frustrating.

@raccoon
Or maybe a character named Al. That might get weird!

A character called Ai?
Maybe a girl?
Dare I say... A video girl?

@eniko trolls, you don't have to do anything

@eniko ugh

[mmby@mastodon.social]

@eniko make a mock copy protection quiz for startup about weird DOS programming questions that LLMs get consistently wrong

[lunarloony@dosgame.club]

@eniko How about one of these?

Except the AI bros will just lie and say their garbage is also AI free, there's no winning in this wretched hellscape.

Caaarrrllll

[smohc_stahc@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@eniko Industrialized media has always been driven towards amorality. It's the kind of 'pushing the bounderies' mentality that goes too far. Here's an example: https://collider.com/no-animals-were-harmed-disclaimer-american-humane-history/

When the default assumption is horrific, disclaimers become marks of honor.

[gabrielesvelto@mas.to]

@eniko I know it's a chore, but why not? AI bros are basically handing you a free PR win by just stating the obvious.
