I copied from severall answers from Quora(only the ones made by ChatGPT  because -> no copyright):

  •            Unnatural coding formatting (pretty self explaning)
  •             Generic, boilerplate code (Code that you write and reuse with little or no alteration)
  •            Overly Complex solutions (when the code "kill a mosquito with a ballistic missile")
  •            Lack of comments in code

In my opinion,(not accusating but in third person) you shouldn't generate code with AI, both for ethical reason, and for technical reasons(the code is shitty).

"Lack of comments in code" that sounds like me.

that what humans do literally 

(+10)

chat gpt often provides comments, and copy pasty boiletplate code is definitely a thing humans do. my opinion is that in game jams generally stick to believing that people participate in good faith, i think generally trying to find things that 'look kinda ai generated' and punishing them is a bad idea

For the record I don’t use AI to generate my production code but I did use AI to help me learn a shader technique a while ago when I got stuck and ChatGPT was really useful in suggesting ways to make it work, and by allowing me to ask questions on each section. I would use it again.

Should I avoid using that shader technique in the competition?

There are professional devs who now code with CoPilot, and some of them don’t even consider it AI code any more than artists think of the content aware fill as AI, because they’re reading and adapting or curating the AI code apparently, or whatever it is they think that separates them from machines - I really don’t know, it takes me longer to read bad code than to write bad code so I never tried copilot!

But ultimately, we are just a machine doing the toil necessary to satiate the ever growing hunger of the corporate masters doing the work of many in the pursuit of efficiency, we’re just a machine with a meat bag casing. That ain’t special, the Dinosaurs tried it before us and where are they now? Anyway, as long as there is a law demanding people wear seatbelts there will be people protesting that it takes away their freedom, but the only real freedom is to be a corporation - to be the machine that consumes the production of the machines.

Well blast, I guess I’m leaning toward a cyberpunk aberation entry…

Good game idea

nah a lack of comments isn’t a huge sign of AI code


I don’t leave many comments for myself either, and I don’t use AI code so they’re not really linked

(+1)

Especially considering this is a jam specifically geared towards solo developers - not having comments is honestly to be expected outside of complex chucks that aren't self-explanatory.
