“Everyone who says they hate AI is actually using it and embarrassed” is THE biggest cope I’ve ever read.
Comment on Big Walk Used AI In 'The Final Stretch' Of Development, Kicking Off Intense Awards Debate

Developers House House told Aftermath via email that “LLMs were used sparingly by House House to help work through difficult technical challenges and bugs”, and that they “estimate that well under 0.1% of Big Walk’s code had anything to do with this usage”.
Meh, if that were enough to exclude a game from GotY awards, you’d end up with a very short list of mostly unknown games, half of which probably did use LLMs for those sorts of tasks and are just lying about it.
And honestly, if AI-debugging can replace having to spend days of horrible crunchtime fixing those bugs, I’m all for it.

I guess so, but I’m not sure where you’ve read it because I sure haven’t written it.

“Difficult technical challenges and bugs” is what I find AI is the worst at in my experience.

I think the example cases they’ve provided are pretty good example of where an LLM can actually be useful. For example, if you need to find and fix a bug in third-party code, it can be an absolute pain, as just getting a basic understanding of an unknown codebase by yourself could take days or weeks. An LLM can analyze the code in seconds and if not fix the bug, at the very least point out locations where to look for it. It’s not necessarily about telling the LLM to overcome the technical challenge by itself, but it can definitely assist in it.

You conveniently dropped "to help work through" here, so now it implies they let AI do the work.

I know personally indie devs who released successful games who again know other successful indie devs and all of them vibe code. Virtually every studio uses LLMs these days and most studios have been using it since last year. Most of them are not upfront about it either.
