Dev uses ChatGPT to prove subreddit liked his AI-made game, mod scolds him for it
AIandDesign · x · 2026-10-28
A developer who shared a vintage-console game built with AI tools on r/dreamcast leaked his mod-mail exchange: his post was mass-reported and auto-deleted, and the mod insisted "the community doesn't want it" — despite the post earning 66 upvotes and the dev counting more positive than negative reactions.
When the dev sent a ChatGPT analysis confirming his count, the mod erupted: "You can't use your own brain to look at the post itself? AI has you rent free brother." The dev pointed out he had already made the same point manually and been ignored. The mod closed with: the community voted, majority says no AI.
The clash highlights how some subreddits police AI content: loud minorities and moderator fiat override actual sentiment data — and even using AI for data analysis becomes the offense.
