I don't mind it unless it's solely used to write a mod. Like, I was really excited when I heard about Daggerfall Online. But then I learned that 95% of its code was generated by Claude, so now I can't be certain whether or not it's safe, from a Cyber Security standpoint

Yes! I think this is a fact that people aren't appreciating enough. I think large mods hand coded by several people over time are more trustworthy than large mods generated by some guy using Claude. Who knows what he could have snuck in there?

Maybe there is a good way to mitigate the risk but right now I'd be cautious of AI mods.

Its arguably way safer. Mythos is being used by cybersecurity firms to patch thousands of old security vulnerabilities across major tech companies, opus 5.5 now statistically writes less buggy and more safe code.
