A thread worth going through if you're worried about RenPy, Tom and AI. Apple took the time to walk through it here explaining the nuance and giving good suggestions without defending the use or dismissing concerns. I may jump in later if I have the spoons, but it's been a long 36? hours for me.

It is worth adding here that Steam and itch's AI disclosures are not going to be an issue for this, either. Every Unity, Unreal and Godot released game would have disclosures on it if the underlying code had to be clean for it. It's not your fault or responsibility.

I refuse to give an inch to the people who are over-enthused about AI in its current state, but AI (and godhood) has been the dream of generations of both science and it's fiction fans and will likely not go away. It can and needs to be less shit though.

Honestly, my only defense is that I was a bit of a coward. When I started, LLM use wasn't a big deal. And I'm usually a non-confrontational person, so it was easier to just not mention it rather than deal with, well, the last 24 hours or so.

Depending on how close it is, I'd either modify it by hand, revert it and re-run with better instructions, or just revert it and go back to manual programming. It's an efficiency tool, not a panacea. It's an emotionless tool, so I don't hesitate to reject it.

That's a fair criticism. I'd say 5 years ago there wasn't any pushback - copilot felt like any other code completion tool - and by the time there was it was ingrained enough it was obvious it would blow up.

25% is prompting. I'll tell it things like "Break this function up into these functions." "Here's a compiler error, figure it out and let me know the cause." "Here's a list of C functions, rename them in this way." etc. It does it, I check the results.

Sure. I'd say something like 75% is just the predictive complete feature. I type, it guesses what I'll type next, and if it's what I was planning to type, I accept it.

Also, I do think there is an ethical obligation to disclose exactly when and how you are using generative AI. That disclosure should have happened publicly (not onboarding Patreon) all the way back in 2021, and should be updated regularly as the generative AI usage changes.

The bigger issue, for me, is financially supporting companies that are stealing from artists and finding new ways to destroy the environment faster. I can understand why a community full of writers, artists, and other creatives would feel betrayed by that choice.

There is still a substantial environmental impact. We don’t know how large it is at this point. That said, the damage is on a societal scale. Whether one individual uses it is a drop in the bucket. Think of it like owning a car, both in terms of scale of impact and morality.

Tom has been developing a free tool that allowed many of us to make games for well over a decade. He’s put his personal time and energy into maintaining this tool, and what he makes through Patreon doesn’t come anywhere close to what he could have made by taking a salaried job instead.

My goal here is not to defend Tom, but I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt wherever possible. I am doing that for two reasons 1) I believe most people deserve benefit of the doubt and 2) he’s built a free-to-use game engine for 10+ years, I think he’s demonstrated good intentions.

My point here is hold yourself to reasonable standards. Don’t use AI to make your art. Hell, don’t use AI to write your code. But you aren’t responsible for every choice involved in making your tools. If you can use photoshop and call your work “AI free”, you can use Renpy. Or Godot, Unity, etc.

I’m seeing a lot of people who feel upset and betrayed about this. I’d like to give some perspective on this as a software engineer to help other game devs understand it better. Specifically, I want to answer what is he saying, what does it mean, and what does it mean for you specifically.
