Yeah, that's the point. Not playing AI-made games but using AI-made software is totally arbitrary.

I find this arbitrary line comes from people with a weakly developed sense of what is beautiful- i.e. being dependent on things like fame, popularity, profit markers, or other superficial features when trying to determine if something is art/beautiful.

A perfectly tight compiler or a well-coded state machine can be as beautiful as a Monet, but the person above is drawing the line for protecting human beauty in a totally arbitrary way that is likely informed by what things would be too inconvenient to protest.

Games are art. Reddit is a social media platform. Thats the distinction. I dont want AI art period.

Personally, I still dont like ai (specifically vibecoding) in any software though.

In programming there is the design and the development. Ai doing the development is fine. Ai doing designing is creatively bankrupt.

So you'd be fine with AI doing the development of games as long as the art and design aspects are human made?

the story? the dialogue? theres more to games than the art and design aspects that make it art
