Just to point out, LLMs are genAI. Lots of code editors provide code suggestions similar to autocorrect/text suggestions using AI. Strictly I doubt any game is made without AI. Not to say it can’t be deliberately avoided, but given the lack of opposition to GPT and LLMs I don’t see it being considered for avoidance in the same way as art.
So Awards with constraints on “any AI usage in development” probably disqualifies most modern games.
Code analysis and suggestion tools in many professional IDEs are not powered by LLMs, in the IDEs I use, there’s an available LLM that I’ve disabled the plugin for (and never paid for so it did nothing anyways). LLMs are simply too slow for the kind of code completion and recommendation algorithms used by IDEs and so using them is not “using genAI”
Uh… Sorry but no, LLMs are definitely fast enough. It works just like auto complete, except sometimes it’s a genius that pulls the next few lines you were about to write out of the ether, and sometimes it makes up a library to do something you never asked for
Mostly it works about as well as code completion software, but it’ll name variables much better
I believe you that genAI is being used for code suggestions, but I wouldn’t call it a genius.
This is anecdotal but over the last couple of years I’ve noticed Visual Studio’s autocomplete went from suggesting exactly what I wanted more often than not to just giving me hot garbage today. Like even when I’m 3-4 lines in to a very obvious repeating pattern it’ll suggest some nonsense variation on it that’s completely useless. Or just straight making up variable and function names that don’t exist, or suggesting inputs to function calls that don’t match the signature. Really basic stuff that any kind of rules-based system should have no problem with.
I wouldn’t call it a genius either, it’s just all over the place. Sometimes it’s scary good and predicts your next move, most of the time it’s just okay, sometimes it’s annoyingly bad
There is no such thing. It does not exist at presence. Full stop.
Genetic algorithms and complex algorithms are neat. They’re useful tools. They’re not “ai”, they’re algorithms. It’s fine.
Large X models and diffusion models are bullshit machines. They were invented as bullshit machines. They are scams. Their evangelists are scammers. They do not ‘generate’ except in the way aspark gap jammer ‘generates’. They’re noise machines.
You do not know what the fuck you’re talking about. You are a cultist. Go back to sexting with ELIZA.

Autocomplete in IDEs use LSP. It’s a rite of passage to manually setup your own if you use vim.
They are most often just a local database server and client written in C++
Highly recommend you code your own ngl it’s a really fun project.
VSCode autocomplete is literal AI now, they don’t have intellisense
Others will follow, making “no AI” software really difficult to prove
You can literally customize the vscode intellisense right now…
Right now, but we can all see where it’s heading
Then you need to make sure 200 devs disable all AI features or get disqualified from awards with “no AI” clauses
