<p>Nice, enjoyable.<p>I did however expect the stars to attract my ship, that combined with the top down gravity vector made it less intuitive.<p>It also makes it feel like a game happening in earths atmosphere instead of space, it impacts the possible sense of scale.<p>Still fun :)</p>

<p>It seemed to be a common AI style, so I was suspicious. Zoomed in on the laundromat window sign and it says “vioice”, so yea.<p>Looking at it again now, things like the electrical wires not being aligned, or going nowhere are always obvious tells. The outlines on the A in “laundromat” are okay but for some reason the vertical line on the R isn’t open.<p>It’s impressive that this can be generated with AI. I just wish it would come with a  “generated with llm-name” label.</p>

<p>Alright, if I understand correctly, what you're saying is they make this distinction because they operate in the "text and code" space but not in the media space.<p>I've written _a lot_ of open source MIT licensed code, and I'm on the fence about that being part of the training data. I've published it as much for other people to use for learning purposes as I did for fun.<p>I also build and sell closed source commercial JavaScript packages, and more than likely those have ended up in the training data as well. Obviously without consent. So this is why I feel strong about making this separation between code and media, from my perspective it all has the same problem.</p>

<p>Right, that's what I'm thinking too (I'll update my statement a bit to make that more clear), but I constantly hear this perspective that it's all good for text and code but when it's media, then it's suddenly problematic. It's equally problematic for text and code.</p>

<p>> No AI-generated media is allowed (art, images, videos, audio, etc.). Text and code are the only acceptable AI-generated content, per the other rules in this policy.<p>I find this distinction between media and text/code so interesting. To me it sounds like they think "text and code" are free from the controversy surrounding AI-generated media.<p>But judging from how AI companies grabbed all the art, images, videos, and audio they could get their hands on to train their LLMs it's naive to think that they didn't do the same with text and code.</p>

<p>I don’t think the scraping party cares about the license, if the JavaScript code is linked online they’ll just take it. Source: see the art industry</p>

<p>Recently a customer pasted a complete ChatGPT chat in the support system and then wrote “it doesn’t work” as subject. I kindly declined.<p>I’ve also received tickets where the code snippets contained API calls that I never added to the API. A real “am I crazy” situation where I started to doubt I added it and had to double check.<p>On top of that you get “may I get a refund” emails but expanded to four paragraphs by our friend Chat. It’s getting kinda ridiculous.<p>Overall it’s been a huge additional time drain.<p>I think it may be time to update the “what’s included in support” section of my softwares license agreement.</p>
