I would love to see someone claim that a lot of fiction writing is "boilerplate" and just certain important plot bits need human input. Because if you tried handwaving away the "boilerplate" parts of fiction like that, people would rightly mock you for being a giant dipshit.

LLM-generated copycats of games really do get at the heart of why you can't simply divorce LLM generation of code vs. other mediums. Game mechanics are creative work that's enshrined in code. There isn't a clean division between vague handwavey "boilerplate" code and code that defines crucial logic.

AI bros who create slop copycat ripoffs of games, art, etc. should be treated the same as scabs

Very unlikely to finish my list of twenty-six target games to finish this year now. But if I can hit 20+ out of 26 including reading all of Clannad in my non-native language, I'll consider that a spiritual victory. :'D

Going to finish Clannad tomorrow. About two hours left in the longplay as far as I can see. Truly an epic backlog saga adventure that has taken me over three months and around 120 hours of game time to read, completely derailing my progress through everything else I meant to play this year.
