Comment on Big Walk Used AI In 'The Final Stretch' Of Development, Kicking Off Intense Awards Debate
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 2 days ago
There are endless threads to discuss in this, but two really seem lost in this debate:
-
The distinction between vibecoding, and lower levels of LLM tool usage.
-
How widespread the latter already is.
Basically, if you’re a dev making software for money… you’re already interacting with LLMs, somehow. Everyone reading this post is using code touched by them, up and down the stack.
Hence I don’t think people realize how impractical the “purist anti AI” stance really is. It’s like asking game devs to avoid anything touched by Microsoft or Facebook: a good idea on the surface, but how on Earth would you do it?
I think what gamers really hate is higher levels of vibecoding and tool usage to make slop. As they should. As well as support for authoritarian entities backing them. But this just isn’t a practical debate without discussing where to draw the line, rather than an absolutist “LLMs or no LLMs” take.

You can just not use it personally?

In the modern internet and tech, get away from AI entirely, period. It’s being shoved in our faces everywhere, it’s copilot on your Windows 11 machine, it’s being used to develop Linux distros, most numbers you call for support force you through AI bots first.

But that’s the point that is an unreasonable stance. Unless you go and live in the woods or something you’re going to be interacting with AI produced code, so what we need to do is stop automatically having the knee jerk reaction of “AI bad” and instead have an actual productive nuance discussion about where we want to draw the line.

This is the internet. Everyone has been clicker trained to go 100 percent all in or all out choose sides burn the neutrals.

I’m not sure I understand what you’re asking, as this article is discussing the purchase/praise of games developed with LLMs/diffusion.
