Some awards show controversy had House House disclose possibly the lightest possible LLM usage you can imagine. Anyway it's a Bad Game now.

Amongst all the glut of genuinely vibe coded slop, inventive AI reverse engineering and the plain ol' realities of LLM living in modern software development, I get a bit frustrated seeing it all grouped into one essentialized category.

The common understanding of what AI even is, is at an all-time low, imo. People see 'AI code' next to a game title and imagine someone prompting claude for 20 minutes, and these sorts of stories and over-the-top reactions don't help.

The basics of what happened with this story, is that a particularly bad Unity bug plagued the team and the unity support wasn't being a help. LLM fixed the bug. I'm shocked to see that even this usage is considered unacceptable to some people.
