To me, like books, games are a small piece of people's souls. As long as they are made with love and without genAI/LLMs.
Wish everyone had the chance to make at least one game in their life before they die. A mini-game would suffice, as well, for the smallest experience can still hold a soul piece.
As a former chemistry student, I realized that from day one: from the notion of rate-limiting step we can infer that all tasks for which AI relies on people to correct it's course the speed with which the task advances depends on the slowest phase, which is the rate at which a person can revise.
Faster garbage is still garbage and even when it works, this turns code into the equivalent of magic rather than a scientific/technical pursuit, not to mention the human and artistic aspects/decisions.
Does code that you don't even understand counts as professional output?
They're just saying they don't ask models to do stuff for them and avoid any involvement as much as possible. And probably that whatever tool/output slips through the cracks does so against their will.
For those who need things spelled out for them (because we live in such times):
When people say they don't use genAI/LLMs, they are - not - worried about the underlying invisible chain of tools that support their work, over which they know they don't have total control.
It is one of the (many) reasons why I don't use genAI/LLMs.
For instance, for an open-source maintainer like me, this means that the increased output in code would be restricted anyway by the speed at which I can understand and sanitize the code.
Don't build your houses on sand.
Useful thread. I suspect I saw a very blatant case of this on Discord the other day.
My honest feelings about the fact I don't use genAI/LLMs. I mean no disrespect to anyone or their personal choices.
Thank God I remembered this cartoon. The underlying premise fits so perfectly.
