i can respect the logic of using the available means from a position of weakness. we all draw the line in different places. i eat meat, i travel by plane, i use github, discord, and every other service that drives the growth of datacenters

from that perspective it makes sense to make a statement by using ai in a space where everyone rejects it, i assume that's the point

i don't know if, beyond making that point, you felt ai was helpful in writing a manifesto. i think here in this jam, with this audience, any level of human error is not just tolerated but encouraged. i suppose the details of how and why may be besides the point of simply asserting the right to. it occurs to me also that maybe you didn't even use ai 

well anyway, made me think

The point was more like, hey get that bag lol. Job market sucks right now. Lots like to hand waive that they would turn down an AI job if they had an offer. Others saying they would take any job AI or not. But not many actually have had the opportunity to do either. All I'm trying to say is its better to have no job than none.

It's undeniably good that any money you take from a job and put in the local gamedev scene is better than someone else putting in the s&p500. Plus some extrapolation for like, if you have the knowledge to swing a tech meetup, you should even if it's AI branded. You never know when you'll meet a dude with a fat salary that wants to bankroll his dream game.

For your other question, AI is low key not helpful at all haha. Self interviews are good to jog the brain, and occasionally it'll connect an A and B that you didn't expect. Otherwise, it never writes something that matches my voice at all and it'll often context rot itself out of new ideas. I actively have to very closely monitor the inputs and rewrite the outputs for anything useful. The thing above is all text by me.

Thank you for reading and taking the time to reply. It means a lot to me genuinely.
