Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Developers House House told Aftermath via email that "LLMs were used sparingly by House House to help work through difficult technical challenges and bugs", and that they "estimate that well under 0.1% of Big Walk’s code had anything to do with this usage".

Meh, if that were enough to exclude a game from GotY awards, you'd end up with a very short list of mostly unknown games, half of which probably did use LLMs for those sorts of tasks and are just lying about it.

And honestly, if AI-debugging can replace having to spend days of horrible crunchtime fixing those bugs, I'm all for it! That's what AI should do, making people's lives easier and not replacing their creativity.

Honestly this ordeal is actually bigger than people think. because it stems from the IGF written statement from 19 of their 50 or so jurors.

IGF has a decision to make here and it isn't a easy one. They need to either choose whether the jurors are allowed to hold that opinion, which marks them as a pure bias source which is not good for a jury that is meant to decide the final choice on your listings; say "yea that's fine" and basically throw out any form of credibility that IGF has in it's voting process like how TGA has been for years, or just not put 19 of their jurors on any category that contains a game that has AI in it (which isn't super difficult as a category only has 7-10 jurors)

Personally I think that IGF is in a damned if you do, damned if you don't type situation here cause either one of them is going to screw their publicity.

“Difficult technical challenges and bugs” is what I find AI is the worst at in my experience.

[–] PonyOfWar@pawb.social 23 points 9 hours ago

I think the example cases they've provided are pretty good example of where an LLM can actually be useful. For example, if you need to find and fix a bug in third-party code, it can be an absolute pain, as just getting a basic understanding of an unknown codebase by yourself could take days or weeks. An LLM can analyze the code in seconds and if not fix the bug, at the very least point out locations where to look for it. It's not necessarily about telling the LLM to overcome the technical challenge by itself, but it can definitely assist in it.

You conveniently dropped "to help work through" here, so now it implies they let AI do the work.

[–] chloroken@lemmy.ml 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

"Everyone who says they hate AI is actually using it and embarrassed" is THE biggest cope I've ever read.

[–] PonyOfWar@pawb.social 24 points 9 hours ago

I guess so, but I'm not sure where you've read it because I sure haven't written it.
