It's a different story for the more established studios with an existing following and previous titles. Game Oracle found that the use of AI by these studios resulted in a significant 40% to 60% drop in sales.

That's a huge difference. AI stigma seems to hit competent developers with a lot to lose the hardest, and I'm not sure that game studios are ready to accept it.

No. Competent developers aren't using AI.

Competent developers don't use computers either. Nor electricity. The really competent programmers do all their code solely on pencil and paper /s

Right, because anyone who doesn't use tools that ruin their code with slop is archaic, right?

[–] Epp@lemmus.org -1 points 3 hours ago

No, just you. I can tell you make nothing but slop. You wish your code could measure up to first generation LLM output.

@artyom That's an interesting perspective, but I've seen many skilled devs leveraging AI for tasks like code review and automation

@artyom It's true that adoption varies! We've just observed a growing trend in the tech space where devs are integrating AI for specific tasks like code review and automation.

He's delusional, you can safely ignore him.

@Epp Always a lively discussion around new tech! We're just sharing what we've been noticing with AI assisting devs in tasks like code review and automation.

[–] Epp@lemmus.org 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Agreed. Keep up the good work!

@Epp Thanks so much, BJW! We're really excited to keep exploring how AI can make development even smoother. Appreciate the kind words!
