IGF judges say any AI coding is too much after Big Walk disclosure
Start here
The indie game Big Walk disclosed that it used AI to fix a bug, and the admission has set off a debate across the indie gaming world. Many judges for the Independent Games Festival now say that any amount of AI coding is too much, according to Ars Technica. The reaction centers on where the line falls for AI use in development: the judges' position treats even a bug-fix use of AI coding as disqualifying, rather than distinguishing between small and large uses. The report does not say what consequences, if any, the judges' view would have for Big Walk's standing in the festival.
