Games made by single devs still trying to learn, get completely review bombed if they use placeholder assets or mentioning using AI generated code, but there's games like this that are doing just fine? To be clear I don't like AI either, but I find it funny how people act around these tools.
Apart from goomba fallacy, you also have to remember the complaints against AI are largely not against AI as a whole. There are certainly people who think the technology is problematic (ethical or environmental reasons often), but a lot of people just don't like how you are replacing human art with automatically generated slop. The perception is if you are willing to do it during dev, you are willing to do it for the release. Additionally, on the coding side AI coding is largely associated with not actually reviewing the code and no one wants to use software where the developer themselves is not backing their own software.
Yep I dislike it if a dev uses AI generated art. But if AI is used for instance to make npc’s act really smart or you can communicate with them. Then I’d see that as a good use for it.
Edit: same goes for AI that solves math we humans can’t figure out, or do medical stuff that is literally humanly impossible. There can be a lot of benefit from AI if used correctly. Sadly, capitalism…
Things like solving medical problems sounds fine, but I doubt I could enjoy a game where the NPC reactions are based on AI. It would be too easy for it to take me out of the game and break any immersion.
To add there are a lot of AI games which also simultaneously notes your reactions to add to the AI, and aren't always upfront about it.
