And if you had made a game with vbscript and then some bully came around hating against you and devs like you, because you are not using linux and C and that's supposedly makes you a worse creator, wouldn't you be annoyed too?
Also I simply don't believe that you aren't using AI at work. I bet when Google provides some AI summary to your search query, you at least glance over it. Additionally the new types of auto-completion rely on machine learning methods, which is as AI as LLMs.
Again: No AI is used in our company. Even every bit of e.g. Copilot is disabled by GPO and altering the WIM-file tio have a clean installation of Windows itself. We also work for a very private sector, so no: No AI.
But to the points: You don't make games in VBS. You can, but you simply won't. For webgames, either HTML + JS + maybe XML (AJAX). If you want multiplayer, then PHP and SQL. And if you want it fancy: UE5, GODOT or Unity.
And Linux and C? You don't have to rely on Linux to code C or C#. This is like saying: You need Linux to code in Python. You simply don't. And really no hate, but it seems you really have no clue about programming at all, do you? Just asking, because so many stereotypes and simply wrong statements are a red flag for me to believe this.
If you really want to understand and learn to code: Start with simple scripts for the browser (Userscripts) to get familiar with JavaScript. HTML later. Start at the backend, then design the frontend to it. Like prepare, then serve. You can't serve without preparation.
"And Linux and C? You don't have to rely on Linux to code C or C#. This is like saying: You need Linux to code in Python. You simply don't."
Yes, exactly. Which is why it would be absolutely asinine (and evil!) if there were people going around bullying creators for using Windows or "the wrong programming language". So, please stop going around bullying creators here, just because they use tools that you personally dislike. Look up statistics of AI use, the vast, vast majority of students are using some sort of AI in school and university. Of course you can be a Luddite till you die and hate against all people for using new tech that you protest for some weird reason, but what is the point of that? Just let people live as they want.
I'm fairly certain they meant that as an example, since that's one of the languages you mentioned, and that with that second statement they were referring to phenomena like the cults behind Linux and C that often believe anything else to be inferior. So neither of those are an indication of inexperience.
That aside, please be aware that it's very patronizing to explain to them the—in your opinion—correct way to get into the trade based on your seemingly unfounded assumption that they are trying to learn. They might be a senior programmer with little time or too many ideas, so they use AI to get it done faster. They might only use this as a prototype, too, which is strongly encouraged by this website to begin with. They might even replace AI code in a full release version, maybe; who knows?
