at the very least don't use it for the the most visibly apparent components of a game. Having it stub out scaffolding for underlying systems in the code is one thing, using it for visual assets is just dumb
This just shifts the problem to a new location. Don't use it for art, or scaffolding, or code, or concepts, or anything a person gets paid to do or a different person expects a human touch from.
AI is a fine search engine, it doesn't need to eat the world.
It is NOT fine as a "search engine". If you even read AI summaries you're dumber this year than you were last year.
I'm sorry, but I'm certain that the average AI summary beats/matches what the average person gets from a normal search. You're acting like people before AI didn't just believe whatever the first or second link told them, for most cases.
If you've ever even read the summary of a study, you're in the top 10% of "people that research online".
So basically people burn more energy while doing the same shit as before. Yeah you're really selling it. Generally we should be fixing stupidly instead of letting billionaire parasites leach off of it.
