AI may change the game here. Most games are slop coded by humans anyway as the industry prioritizes speed and dead lines over code quality.

So having AI build the slop instead of a human seems to make sense. I really wonder how AI is changing the gaming industry.

The articles author strangely left AI out of what he wrote. While I know a lot of HN readers are traditional and love the old way of doing things I don’t know how much longer that way will last.

It’ll last as long as there are humans who like making things themselves.

That’s what they said about assembly coders.

Guess what, there are still people who write code in assembler.

For plenty of reasons there are lots of programmers who still need to know how to code in assembly, read assembly, etc.

The indie gamedev scene is full of people for whom games are an art form. These people don't give two hoots about what "the industry" prioritizes, they just want to make their games their way.

Calling their creations slop and suggesting using AI to make them is honestly quite the insult.
