Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash

  It’s typical of dev burnout, though. Communication starts becoming more impulsive and less constructive, especially in the face of conflicts of opinions.

  I’ve seen it play a few times already. A toxic community will take a dev who’s already struggling, troll them, screenshot their problematic responses, and use that in a campaign across relevant places such as github, reddit, lemmy… Maybe add a little light harassment on the side, as a treat. It’s a fun activity ! The dev spirals, posts increasingly unhinged responses and often quits as a result.

  The fact that the thread is titled “is lutris slop now” is a clear indication that the intention of the poster wasn’t to contribute anything constructive but to attack the dev and put them on their back foot.

    I see your point. I might also have responded poorly to that, on some level at least.

      Yeah same. I’d like to think i’d answer “I’ll use AI, if you don’t like it you can fork the project and i wish you good luck. Go share your opinion on AI in an appropriate place.”. But realistically there’s a high chance it catches me on a bad day and i get stupid.

    … You’re right. I definitely wouldn’t be above such a response.

    The problem is, a lot of people here - myself included - were/are also being impulsive about their responses to this issue, at least partially due to all the shitty stuff caused by GenAI.

    There might be some toxic people too, I wouldn’t be surprised - but this can happen without them, too.

      The thing is, toxic people thrive in mob situations and are often found leading or even manufacturing them. I tend to be wary around this kind of setups as they are easy to get caught up and hard to get out of.

    No, it was literally an important question to have answered. And booooy did the dev answer.

      Is it appropriate to ask a stranger a question by first calling their work “slop” ? Is that how you communicate with people ? How is that working out irl ?

      Y’all are so immersed in bully culture that this seems normal to you smh

        Wow, calling asking to identify if something is a thing by the name of the thing that it’s being asked about is “bully culture” now? This is a whole new low level of argument in the pro-AI take.

  Trolling? They gave a pretty good answer explaining their reasoning.

    I’ve removed the Claude co-authorship from the commits a few days ago. So good luck figuring out what’s generated and what is not.

    Seems pretty obvious to me that they knew this wouldn’t go over well. It was inflammatory by design.

      Yeah ok. True. I think the rest of the post has much more weight, though. But yeah, he should have swallowed that last sentence.
