I wrote this a couple of years ago to practice vector-based movement in @monogame.net. I'm so happy I did because it's about to be the ⭐ of Monday's lecture on AI movement in games.

What happens when the player looks down?🍄✨🔮
Last week some behind the scenes footage of our game went viral. We got heaps of comments from people wondering if players could see between the thousands of hand drawn illustrations that make up our world.

The "using AI to generate concept art early in the process to quickly iterate ideas" thing is so absurd to me because like. You don't know what concept art is. You don't know what concept art *does*.

A key difference here is that while either can be incorrect, the structure of Wikipedia *creates context* and the structure of LLMs *destroys context*
Wikipedia has linked sources and an edit history showing where information came from and who added it when
An LLM just generates text

Some of the anti-AI stuff feels a bit like when people would say "don't use Wikipedia as a source." It's just like anything else, a piece of information that you weigh against multiple sources and your own understanding of its likely failure modes

OpenAI doesn't realise that PhD-level expertise has very little to do with the stuff you know and more to do with how you can think. I forget facts from mine all the time!
The value in my PhD is knowing how to reliably generate, evaluate, and defend or dismiss information that's new to the world.

Lol. This is perfect.
"You say you only used AI for placeholder text, but in that text was a response from the AI saying 'here's a revised version'. Here's what I don't understand - why revise placeholder text? You see my problem? It just doesn't make sense to me. Why revise something nobody was meant to see, unless..."
