I mean i get your pissed of since reading it back my comment sounded like i was looking down on you, but that was not my cause, i think i made a mistake by putting you in the same bag as other people that used AI in this game jam. I didn’t write that you wrote/said the thing that i than compared to a stupid remark about a marathon. I wrote it as a comparison since one other guy said it and I found it ridiculous, I showed it as a comparison to a real life marathon because i think it is in a way similar to a game jam and that i don’t get why people use AI in game jams since it is most of the time not allowed if you don’t actually make anything yourself and let AI do it ,which in this game jam it is not allowed but checking back that rule was only mentioned in the discord server which you can access in (https://itch.io/jam/one-button-jam-2026).
Another thing you wrote is that you didn’t get why i compared people that develop games using free assets. But if you read my comment again, that’s not what i wrote, i said/wrote that people that DRAW the assets that others can for FREE are saints since they are making something that can help others from which they don’t profit from, which I consider a very selfless thing to do.
You asked in what case i would see someone using AI as a sinner, I am not sure if you are trying to poke at me for using a word saint in my last comment but ill answer anyway. I would probably consider that a person who used it in a way that wasn’t allowed, Like for example in a game jam where having an entire game be made by AI is not allowed since the thing you add as a commission should not be made entirely by AI and should still be consider the persons work. Or for example when its disclosed that one should say that they used but they didn’t. I am not forcefully trying to point this at you since you disclosed that you used AI and also probably didn’t see the AI rule from the discord but still the link to the discord was on the same page you signed up to this game jam on.
I didn't assume that just because somebody uses AI it means they have zero knowledge what i wrote in my last comment was this:
"Those who work purely by using AI and have 0 actual knowledge will be kicked out first."
I meant that if you use AI ANNNND don’t have any knowledge. By being kicked out i meant devs from the industry being kicked out and switched for AI models. Just because i said that can happen to some people doesn’t mean that i was implying that it would happen to you.
I was not trying to tell you what to do, since you mentioned you were new to game development in one of the other comments I just assumed that you wanted to get better and wrote what i think would help you. I don't know about you but when somebody says that they are new to game development i don't think anybody would assume that that person has been coding for over 30 years. You have a job and multiple incomes cool, good for you but i don't know what that has to do with my comment. And about your last question...
"Is it such a bad thing that I use AI to have some fun, and to help others have fun?"
Well it somewhat is when it is part of a contest and your way of having fun is breaking the rules.
Anyway I hope you have a great rest of your day. I didn't write the first comment to make a personal critique on you but more so because i saw that in one of your other comments you mention that you don't get why AI gets hate so I wanted to tell you my opinion.
