I seem to be the only person who is upset about RenPy starting to use AI-written code.

Well, I'm used to being the outsider. I'm used to burning down my own opportunites on general principles. So be it. I'll still use the engine but will not be updating it. Hopefully it'll hold together for years.

@Twoflower It's certainly a very valid cause for concern! I switched tax software because I don't want GenAI hallucinating my taxes. (TurboTax)

@Twoflower I'm not saying it's the same thing, I understand RenPy is not likely to suddenly become an interface to a GenAI to shoehorn generated content into your games, just that the code will be that much less carefully considered. But that's not a selling point. No one switches to AI to improve reliability and security.

@Tuftears yeah. and honestly, even if the code is great, even if there's never a problem, even if it's sufficient and terrific... it's still AI generated code using stolen content to power an LLM. I can't use it. That's just the bottom line, I can't do it because it opens me up to legal risk and poses ethical problems. Even if it's only ever used for like three lines of code, any contamination negates my 100% human made claim.

@Twoflower Absolutely true too!
