Well theres the obvious which is when someone without coding or art skills uses AI to write code and generate the art. But if for example you used AI to write some specific functions you couldnt find a tutorial for on the internet or just got lazy and decided to ask AI, can you really say that game was made without AI?

Now I had an idea for a game around the same time I got into unity, so I thought I would use AI to teach myself coding by making a prototype for the game, but I got way WAYYY too carried away and now its been about a year since I started it. I cant really differentiate my code from the AI's, but I understand everything equally, except that doesn't help with some (let's say) functions being thought of by AI, and I really don't want my career to start off with a game I made with the help of AI. Starting a new project to build the same thing by myself is too much (trust me), but im considering rewriting scripts that I might have used AI for. Should I do it? A different way to phrase this question would be, if you are against buying games that were made by AI, would you still have the same chance of buying this as any other game (considering it interested you)? Since I really don't want to hide that fact, and it would be very bitter sweet if my game got traction but id have to admit I learned from AI because I don't like to lie about things like that.

And yes I made a similar post yesterday.

I've been working on a game for about a year, I already knew some basic coding techniques and thought I'd use AI to teach myself further, which I feel like I did. I feel much more capable of writing better code, and I think that's the correct way to use AI, but the past year I've been getting tired of shit like AI slop and feel shame for using it at all. I went back and forth between making my game and not making my game, basically just doing it when the motivation boost randomly hit and I guess one of those times it hit I decided to stop using it, but knowing I used AI to start off with my game kind of irritates me. However I did NOT use AI to create any textures, models or think of creative ideas and storylines/dialogue, I barely even have a written story first, but I wont be using it for that anyway. I will no longer be using AI to code and whenever I now need something that I don't know how to code, I'll look at other people's works on the internet to frankenstein them into my own thing or just follow a tutorial if it's simple enough. I'm not here so you can tell me it's fine, I just don't know whether I should rewrite the code that I used AI for, because I barely remember which scripts I used it for, and don't even really know how to actually rewrite a script like, do you just delete the entire thing and judging off of errors you put in functions? Although, I do think I understand the bits that I copy-pasted just as well as I understand everything else.
