Viral debate: creators' anti-AI energy versus channeling it into making new things
AIandDesign · x · 2026-10-06
An "AI hate meta" debate is circulating: RoyalCities mocks the new gaming-community mood where recomps supposedly "have a soul" and you should feel bad playing anything not made with "handmade, free-range, artisanal code" over five years. AutismCapital quotes it to argue artists and game devs would be better off channeling their visceral anti-AI energy into creating new and wonderful things instead. The exchange highlights the divide over anti-AI sentiment in creator communities.
