If you don't want AI-assisted PRs then just don't accept those PRs and the issue is mostly (because some dumbasses will still try to submit AI PRs) solved. However, that was kind of a misinterpretation of my words. If people try to contribute to your project then of course it will affect you.

These people probably feel like they're doing something cool, I don't know. There's just no point in getting worked up over it. You could just as well make twitter threads about the spam you get in your spam folder. It's not going to stop because you're frustrated by it...

someone who used your tooling have to specifically mention that you did not author the final product. That's an insane expectation. I do not understand why he would even call this youtuber irresponsible. I don't expect youtubers covering mods made with my tooling to specify I didn't make the mod...

the vibecoder in question used their tooling and the youtuber did not specifically mention that Dario's team was not the author of the recomp. That makes zero sense to me. When you release an open source tool others are allowed to use it as they see fit. Why would a youtuber covering the work of

Right. So 1. Then it is indeed just about clout. The slop recomps get the clout and you don't want that because you want to get the clout yourself. I have no respect for that. 2. I looked into the controversy with that youtuber you posted. What I gather from it is that Dario is angry because

Because in the end that other project existing doesn't in any way affect your own projects. So why get annoyed over it?

I've seen similar outrages in the Sonic modding community, where someone quickly hacked together a buggy mod and released it and it'd get featured and get a lot of views. And then people would get angry at them and claim they did it for clout. And I was like "Aren't you just jealous...?"

I mean, I also prefer quality work over vibecode of course. I just feel like someone else vibecoding a heap of trash doesn't in any way affect my own projects. So I don't understand why I should worry about those vibecoded projects. They're slop and they'll be perceived as such.

Aside from that, I feel like if people are satisfied with the quick hack job, then that part of the audience must be fine with a janky solution as long as they can at least play the game. So then spending months implementing e.g. a fancy UI is maybe misunderstanding the needs of your audience?

It's somewhat understandable to feel that way, but also it shouldn't be a race to be the first to release a project, and you can still continue working on your own project and release a more qualitative version.

And then he brings up what seems to be the real reason, which bothered me a bit, namely: "they can demotivate a developer who was in the middle of creating a project that does tick the quality boxes". So basically "if someone beats me to the punch with an AI hack job I feel demotivated".

He also says "these people aren't aware of the quality expected by the public". I'm going to assume this would be about a different target demographic than those that don't care, but that's fine too? I'm sure those people will wait for your more high quality port.

Ok, but my point is: If someone else makes a half-assed hack job, that doesn't affect your own project. So why care? He says "the average user doesn't care, they're just happy that there are more games to play". Ok, so that's good then? People are happy. What is the actual problem?

I think you need to take a deep breath and calm down, because none of what you said has anything to do with what I said.

I'm not an AI proponent, but to me this thread kind of reads like you feel that only people who know how to read assembly should have the right to try making a recompilation, otherwise you feel like the value of your work is diminished because someone else can also do it...

Or you could just accept that people are able to get what they want (a somewhat playable game) faster by using AI, not feel like your work is somehow diminished by what someone else is doing with AI, and focus on making what you want to make. The goal is after all not to show off, but to have fun?

This cape mod started out as an idea for a one week hack job, but I'm clearly not going to be able to fix the bugs before pride month ends. I wanted people to be able to use it during pride month though, so here's a (buggy) WIP if you want to try it out: gamebanana.com/wips/93916

I’ve never made a model in my life, so this is all new for me and I struggled a bit with this. 😅 Eventually managed to get what I wanted by running a cloth simulation against a simple standin for Sonic:

Trying to make wearable pride flag capes for Frontiers and SXSG. (They'll have physics applied, they won't just be flat sheets.) The idea is that you'll be able to cycle between various flags in HE2MP.

These links are released regularly with use limits on them, so I can control how many people enter the server at the same time.

Deaths and link with ring count. I'll push this to the server for the MP night tonight. It's of course not a decent battle system yet but should be fun.
