I can hear this in Leonard Nimoy's voice from Civ IV

I feel like we must be visiting different websites.

Have you seen how overwhelmingly anti-AI the non-software-engineering world is? (despite the hypocrisy as plenty use a chatbot these days) The resistance in here is pitiful.

I'm lurking in the indie game dev scene, and any mention of using LLMs for anything is downvoted and laughed at.


Gamedevs are vehemently against genai art, but code generation seems more accepted from what I've seen

Most discussion of using code generation on gamedev forums is taboo. As in, do what you want in the privacy of your own home, but in public, try to have some self-respect as an artist.

I've seen some "devs" livestreaming themselves coding a game using LLMs, and it's not pretty. But that's my opinion of vibecoding in general — it's the tool one uses when they don't want to think too much, which is the furthest path to greatness.

Some random examples off reddit (try to compare the sentiment if it had been posted on Hacker News):

In general, interest in AI-assisted coding is associated with people that have no experience whatsoever and just want to make a game out of thin air without putting in the effort.


A CMS is for content authors, not developers. AI making it easier to build or re-platform sites doesn’t change the need for an admin UI that non-technical people can actually use, or the need for access control, governance, and approval workflows around how content gets changed.

If anything, I’d expect more CMS work to occur as the cost of building, migrating, and redesigning sites keeps dropping.

Define “talent”.


Not in my (limited) experience. I gave CC and codex detailed instructions for reworking a UI, and codex did a much worse job and took 5x as long to finish.


Seems worse and slower for me. YMMV


They are incredibly conservative and also very pro-migration. They represent the chamber of commerce wing of the republican party, and nothing about publication should be a surprise to anybody.
