Assembly Party adds first AI demo category; demoscene community votes it down
BugoTheCat · x · 2026-09-24

The community reaction has been negative — Pouet votes skew critical — and the thread touches on the honor system needed to detect vibecoded entries, plus veteran frustration that 99% of tech people jumping on AI demos are "LARPers" who never cared about what's being lost.
