What players say
Using generative AI in any capacity is a humiliating decision for any developer, and one that signals a deep disinterest in your own work. But using it for meaningless achievements and community posts for a 20+ year old game feels like sprinkling dandruff and powdered piss as a garnish for an otherwise totally serviceable meal. Why even do it in the first place?
