There's certainly something odd about this. Bad rats, while slop, isn't AI slop since it was last updated in 2011.

Kinda sucks it took this long after action was already taken about Gaiman's books, but I am glad to see @pagebound.bsky.social take this stance finally.

Yet another request to remove Harry Potter from this list and your life

Most of you know why. You have to know why. JKR is not worth any good person's time now that we know how hateful she is, and it is not worth the cute little badges you get from this quest. If we can remove Neil Gaiman's books from quests because he has hurt so many people, we can remove Joann's books for the same reason.

Removing this in a few hours when back at laptop - took over this quest once it reached over 100 books with the intention of curating it down to the 100 book max and creating a vol II with the movies created in 2025 and after. Will take care of this asap!

Can people for once please fucking stop with the "AI is already used everywhere" absolute bullshit.

Why we take this position

AI is already part of game development. Studios are adopting AI-assisted tools across programming, prototyping, production, QA, localization, research, and other workflows. Adoption varies from studio to studio, but this is no longer a hypothetical technology sitting outside the industry.

Knowing how to use these tools is increasingly becoming a professional skill. That does not mean every developer needs to use AI, or even like it. It means understanding where these tools are useful, where they fail, and how to evaluate their output is becoming relevant knowledge for people working in the industry.

Banning discussion or use of AI here could actively disadvantage developers. Part of the purpose of r/gamedev is helping people learn from each other and understand how the industry is changing. If studios adopt a technology, preventing developers from discussing or learning about it would make this community less useful to the people we're helping.

Policing AI use is not realistic anyway. Moderators cannot reliably determine whether someone used AI to draft, edit, translate, summarize, research, debug code, or otherwise assist with a post. We are not going to moderate based on whether something “sounds AI-generated.”

"Mandatory disclosure "is not realistic either. Modern tools blur the line between traditional software and AI assistance. Trying to decide exactly when autocomplete, translation, editing, summarization, or an LLM crosses some disclosure threshold would create rules we could not enforce consistently.

Just went to grab it on itch but this came up? Never seen that before on itch specifically - the hyperlink goes to a 404 as well. I guess I'll grab it on a different platform, but wanted to give you a bigger cut (I'd just rather not give my address to anything that doesn't need it)

Hey so apparently asking "Hello, just wanted to ask if genAI is being used for this ap world at all?" Is banned in the official archipelago server because it's dismissive and degrading Insane to have 4 different mods/admins jump on me. I asked in like 7-10 specific game threads over 15+ mins

This bit? This is the only wiki bit in the linked post. She/her isn't used - nor is they/them or anything else. She might be being referred to with she/her by everyone online but people being so aggressive over this when I have yet to see anything from Jas or the team about their pronouns is mad?

Sky @skylarkblue1.itch.io · 14/06/2026

So I got straight up fucking lied to then. I knew something was off Asked in a ticket as I've been kicked out of communities before for just straight up asking in a public chat

Sky: Hey, I don't want to ask this question as an accusation - butI keep seeing the sparkles emoji a fair bit in the game (playing the playtest atm) and in places that don't make too much sense. Does the game use generative Al at all? I know the sparkles emoji doesn't just mean that, used to love the emoji myself. But seeing it so much in this is putting me on edge a lil
SpryFern: hey, thanks for asking, but want to assure you that's not how we come up with the canned expressions / dialogue. those are all bespoke and put together by the team members working on design and UI (in fact, there's a couple goofy emoji-based ones in there that I've recommended) we really enjoy emoji usage like this for ease of expression - especially for a game that will have a variety of players on both PC and mobile, some finding it harder to type as quickly as others, or some just not quite as talkative. so it's definitely a shame that's how some emojis are associated now because we're a team that enjoys our sparkle emojis and our em dashes. but rest assured, we're adding those sparkles manually and with intent.

Sky: also wanted to ask, you say genAl wasn't used for canned expressions/dialogue, but was it used for anything else?
SpryFern: it is not, just wanted to make sure answered your question directly (and am also deeply multi-tasking on this busy morning, apologies)

Ngl very sad to see Bird and Blend do AI generated shit now. Is any company even trying to be sustainable anymore? Why can't this kinda shit make companies lose their b corp cert? Is there any other similar company to B&B in the UK that does good tea/matcha and *actually* cares?

Somehow it is worse for me. None of that "snippet" is on that page either. I genuinely wish this was an edit, it is not. It's actually what comes up for me when I google that

Correction. 2 WORDS. LITERALLY THIS IS ALL THAT WAS CHANGED IN THE PR??? This was an intentional change, "default: all" literally couldn't be clearer with the intent???

Sky @skylarkblue1.itch.io · 03/05/2026

"please ping me directly" *locks thread* There's like 3 words changed in this entire pull request. It was intentional changes, it's not a bug or an error or "issues" it's clear as day what the code changes are for. What the fuck is this response as if we cannot see the changes directly.

Who the fuck is this loser on the bsky team

A screenshot of a chain of 3 skeets. Initial skeet is @why.bsky.team sharing an article about Claude finding zero days in OpenBSD, ffmpeg, Linux and FreeBSD. @dame.is responding with no no, you don't understand, this is claude we're talking about... it must have *created* those zero day issues, this is what the bluesky users are telling me about how Al Works
@why.bsky.team responds to that with Al denialism is basically just woke climate denialism

I'm no doctor, but I don't think the answer to "I'm allergic to medical tape" should be "here's a tourniquet" Had a CT w/ contrast, cannula taken out, they had nothing else to put on it?? Was told to go home like this. I just sat for a few mins for bleeding to stop and left the tourniquet there.

A screengrab of the full scene. 5 total AI generated images (one of the cameras changes). Just.... this is terrible. Please stop with this. This doesn't make me want to buy a ticket to the live show?? Don't undermine the work of the company you're working with on it.

Shame to see @sortedfood.bsky.social using more generative AI in the latest video. It's just really awful quality and I thought they'd stopped with it after the last lot of backlash. Massive disappointment.

Hey GOG how about you do that for all games, not just the ones that you can cherry pick. You should have supported Red Candle Games.
