but I think originality should be supported, just as why handmade stuff is more expensive.

100% agree for art and anything creative. Coding is a tool to get creative things done. It's like when you use Unity or UE5 and they have libraries that do stuff for you out of the box, it's no different. To people in the 80s Unity & C# will seem like magic...

personally thinks code should also be creative. For example, you can have a game that redraw the UI every frame or have it stay there. While the both works, second one is better, but AI usually opt for the first one.

I think this is about the market. Using AI to code is definitely easier, so AI code has more supply then human-coded code, so use Wealth of Nations(a book)'s theory, AI code will be cheaper. And because they want the more valuable thing, they want human-coded.

Also, if you know the code is created by AI you have less respect and appreciation for it.

Also, since coolmath games are mostly earning money from people that are not coders and the users of coolmath games hate AI(cause AI had and will replace many jobs and other reasons) so Coolmath game has the need to create a reputation of not using AI since this offer is public. Maybe they use AI in secret/private situations, I don't know and I don't care.

Yeah, I get that, but it's not realistic. AI came and it's not going anywhere. Anyone that thinks someone will write manual code again after a few years has no knowledge of the industry. I think Jensen Huang (Nvidia's CEO) said it best - developer's job has always been about solving problems - everything else are tools. Like at some point people that knew how to manually write Regex were highly respected and needed, then people automated it and now nobody knows how to manually write regex and nobody will ever need to.

but this jam is for today, but this reality maybe will change in a few years.

The main point is that it's not something they can enforce, which means that most people will still use AI, so it will only push the small percentage of people that are honest and willing to comply. For AI art you can still tell most of the time, for code - there is no way.

there is a few folks accusing me falsely of using AI generated content for an entire project!
