I can't predict the future, but what's stopping a disgruntled, competent AI user from firing up their LLM and making their own GHPC? I mean, just look at what the Project Zomboid modding community has done with Project Viewpoint, or what the Minecraft community has done with the Shooting Stars mod. Sure, these are mods rather than full-fledged games, but with AI constantly progressing, I can't help but think that antagonizing AI users is a very bad long-term strategy. One of the theories I've had since 2023 is that, by 2030, the biggest advantages human creators might have over AI will be the reputation they've already built and, more importantly, the goodwill of their audience. Because without that goodwill, what's stopping people from switching to AI-made games if those games offer a better experience? Like, cool, you hate AI. But what exactly do you have to offer instead? And why would people support you when you're busy demonizing them for using a technology they enjoy? The reality is that most people ultimately care about the product and whether it satisfies them, not necessarily whether it was made by a human or AI. Take the Shooting Stars mod for Minecraft, for example. There was ALMOST nothing like it before AI. Now imagine a younger generation growing up with projects like that, only to see the anti-AI crowd constantly complaining while offering little in comparison. Who do you think they're going to side with? So yeah, good luck with the virtue signaling, but life isn't confined to whatever moral position happens to be fashionable for the next five years. Life is about adapting to whatever shit gets thrown at you over decades, not winning some temporary argument on the internet.
