"Prompt Elden Ring Into Existence by Morning?" AI Circles Clash Over Vibe Coding Limits
zeeg · x · 2026-09-26
After mrdoob showed off an AI-generated creation asking "how long until this is no longer a joke?", rfleury mocked the belief that people will "prompt Elden Ring into existence in a morning while sipping coffee" within a couple of years. The exchange captures the ongoing split in AI circles over whether agent-driven development will soon cover AAA-scale game engineering or whether such projects remain far beyond prompting. Sentry co-founder David Cramer's retweet signals how much traction the debate gets among engineers.
