The biggest lie in AI is that the future belongs to one winner.
Every technology wave starts with one company promising that one walled garden is all you'll ever need. And every time, market forces and creativity break the walls down.
I cofounded OpenSea and now OpenRouter around the opposite bet: humanity will refuse to be locked in.
Intelligence was never meant to belong to one lab, one model, or one gatekeeper.
The future of AI is open, plural, and yours to choose.

it’s a pointless disclosure, the levels of nuance of AI assisted are not decipherable by any normal gamer and honestly most devs still

Still in high school in NYC and running two things on the side: website redesigns at Kefy Studio and podcast clips at Kefy Clips.
If either sounds useful feel free to DM!!
the tools we do use are the ones we're forced to use; their discussion boards and review system is archaic and we endure these friction points ( and the % cut ) because Steam reaches a huge audience. That's it. That's their only advantage. It's _not_ technological.

I'm still PISSED that Steam removed the RPG Maker tag.
Every day I go to Steam, start to search for RPG Maker games, and am rudely reminded that they are forever dead and buried.
Literally why did they do this!?

Funny and here I've heard that people care about what tools were used, maybe they should add mandatory disclosure for used engine?

I admit that when the computer added word processors I used it and there through helped put the companies making typewriters out of business. My penance? Increased productivity, no longer had to buy white-out and could send, via e-mail (eventually), my mss to editors, publishers, friends and the Library of Congress. I've been paying for not being a "Luddite" in many ways.

Honestly the best way to get a better website is just asking someone to look at yours for 5 minutes. So simple but nobody does it. Why?
Drop your site in a comment and I'll tell you one thing I'd change!!
