The more AI games and "1-shots" I see, the less concerned I am about the future of game dev with respect to quality being produced. However, I don't think it would be a terrible idea to double my efforts so I can ship before some magic breakthrough occurs that really causes problems. That will surely happen no?
Why do people keep pretending like 99% of video game history wasn't created without AI?
I've years of my own hand written code I can reference/copy pasta from. Not everyone uses nor needs to use(nor wants to use) AI for coding.
Here's the thing: literally everyone is using AI now. If not directly on code or assets, it's as a feedback mechanism, QA, validation, review, or some other critical part of the pipeline. There is no such thing as an "AI free" software now.
