This isn't a commercial product, so I'm not sure why the AI use matters. It's not replacing a paid dev position.

    There is more than one reason to avoid AI developed software. We have no idea if they used a local model, or are paying one of the shit companies pushing AI into everything. We don't know the skill level of the dev and if they have the ability to quality check the AI code. We don't know if there are potential security vulnerabilities because of AI code (hopefully less likely in this kind of project). That is all in addition to the greater issues with AI.

    I am also just fucking sick of seeing people make headlines for typing in to a chat box and having the stupid fucking robot port a game they didn't even make with barely any effort. Fuck these lazy assholes, I'd genuinely rather the game not be ported at all.

    It's an indicator of general laziness and of poor quality.

    I would hope it hasn't affected anything, but now I'm forced to wonder if this PT is really the same PT that I remember.

    Also, commercial projects are not wholly separated from the culture of hobbyists. They inform each other and reflect each other. If hobbyists largely use AI, then yes, commercial projects will too.
