Hell fuckin yeah it is, that’s my favorite part of the game!

I have zero special interest in AI
C’mon, man. Don’t lie.
There are finite ways to solve problems with code, how can anyone prove a piece of code is actually written by them …
You and I are going to end up reinventing the US patent system, and while cool, I just do not have time for it. I have way too many autumn leaves to blow into my neighbor’s yard.

I’m going to go back to being mean to you if you’re just going to rules-lawyer carve a path toward your AI special interest.
Secondly, I don’t copy answers from Stack Overflow. I have skill. It’s beneath me.

You don’t even know why I said that. Why do I have to suffer people who are incapable of reconstructing someone else’s argument?
The ML approach to protein folding is a different system, used in different ways, by different people. Your insistance on conflating a data analysis technique with a robot that will pretend to be your girlfriend is utterly bizarre. It’s so oblivious and unaware, I don’t even know what to do with it. It’s like you want people to dislike protein folding. I don’t understand why your camp insists on treating these like they’re the same thing.
Except I do, actually: it’s the card says moops. A very Republican tactic, if I’m being honest.

It’s not. Trap circumvented. Do you have another question?

I’m going to be a little less mean considering some things I’ve seen you say elsewhere.
What I’m talking about here is attribution. Colleges have their own system, I don’t believe that it’s law, for identifying and dealing with plagiarism, and that’s because where an idea came from is very important to academia. Something that trips a lot of people up because they tend to think of plagiarism as thought-stealing from other people: you can be found to have plagiarized your own work from years prior. You have to call out where your information comes from.
Software, even though chunks of code are copywrightable, as a culture, does not care about this nearly as much. Are you stealing if you borrow something from stack overflow? In a way, yeah, kinda. But nobody cares. Lawyers do care about the selected licenses on libraries and github pages, though.
But this is where talking exclusively about copywright gets in the way: if a coworker of mine borrowed a solution from a free-as-in-libre github repository, that would be fine. And the law wouldn’t care. But if they then said, “I wrote this,” maybe because they’re anxious about proving to their manager that they’re worth keeping around, I would think that was really fucking weird of them.
Attribution is not strictly a legal concept. It may or may not be possible to get my coworker there in legal trouble, but that’s really besides the point, I think they’re being anti-social. The dishonesty about where those ideas came from make me nervous about continuing to associate with them at all.

Sure, man.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 day ago:
… but it turns out later I had read a solution to this problem somewhere and inadvertently copied it.
Plagiarism covers this.
If I use a Jetbrains provided built in template …
Are you claiming you wrote the template? I think plagiarism might cover that.
What if I just accept it as is, still my code?
Absolutely not.
If I copy a solution verbatim from Stack Overflow or a book,
If you… saw a solution somewhere. And then you copied it letter for letter. And then you told people, “this is mine, I wrote this,” … is that plagiarism?
This is for sure a difficult one, super hard, but I will give you a chance to think about it. It’s good to consider all the possibilities.

I once used suno a bunch to “make something” of some funny lyrics I had written (a gag for some friends of mine, not really important), and the process of getting anything useful out of it was absolutely miserable. I would never use this for any serious artistic effort. None of it felt like it was mine, either.
When I say that it was like watching a microwave, I’m being completely serious. If my career became just endlessly hitting that slot machine button for another go, I might just punch my ticket.

I salute ye for your hard work on yourself. - Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 day ago:
Funny you mention that.

Mate, you were asked if code that was written for you was in fact your code and you’re talking about copyright. You’re off in the woods. You are so deep in the poisonous bog, I don’t think it’s possible to pull you out.
I think you get regular briefings at work on how to be, like, a business narcissist. Much like Tommy Tallarico, the inventor of music in video games.

Stats.
Does anyone else think that the old refrain of letting nerds run the world was actually incredibly misguided because nearly all of them lack the social skills necessary to not be sociopaths?
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 2 days ago:
Nope. AI is a black box that gives you what it gives you: you lose the creative direction of whatever decisions you leave up to it.

If you had time for things that were consequential, you wouldn’t be paying video games.

You think my problem with AI is that it costs money?
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 2 days ago:
Well, you’re not putting it to very good use.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 2 days ago:
In fact, yes!
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 2 days ago:
You’re clearly avoiding the spirit of what’s being said here, but I don’t mind biting the bullet anyway: Coworkers should not be using AI in their emails, either. Main reason being, it’s obnoxious and makes you look illiterate.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 2 days ago:
It’s a weird gray area. Nobody really knows where the limit is.
This is a “no.” If you can’t just say yes, that’s a no, buddy.
If I ask AI how to solve something but write the exact same code myself, is it mine?
You know, colleges figured this one out: it’s called “plagiarism.”

A willingness to play with Sauron’s One Ring is a signal that they’re not all that bothered about playing with Sauron’s One Ring.
Did you know that most domestic abuse cases don’t actually start with some guy beating his future wife on their first date? That kind of behavior builds up over time.

At some point you DO have to draw an arbitrary line. Because that’s all. Art is arbitrary all of it since the dawn of mankind making art.
My arbitrary line is that AI is cringe.

Gamers also don’t generally reflect the opinions of the entire population.
Oh, so it is the gamers who are anti-AI, and the artists who are in favor of it. That makes sense.
where the developer had absolutely no chance of hiring actual people (therefore no artist, software engineer, etc. was hurt in the process)
It’s interesting to me how a project fronted by somebody without two nickels to contract an artist can use the power of AI to create assets they’d never otherwise be able to, but they’re not replacing anyone; AI can’t just make a bunch of assets that a person could. That’s some black magic, right there.

If 1 guy I know gets sole agency over allll the cocaine in my neighborhood, I don’t really care that much. I don’t think we should live in a cocaine-based society, haha.

By feeding people’s collective cynicism, lack of social skills, general paranoia, lack of trust in each other, waning hope for the future, etc.
Do have a humanities background? All tech people should have one.

In a year it’s going to be nearly impossible to say no game can have any AI used at all,
Damn, that sucks. I guess I’ll have to find a new hobby.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 3 days ago:
Correction: the robot made them, and human workers who were paid to watch it like a microwave used them.

Considering the backlash, maybe it was silly of them to use it for placeholders.
