back in the day I learned a LOT about game programming from reading Unreal 4 source code.

their code always struck me as pragmatic. It wasn't pretty, but it worked. It solved the problem it needed to solve (most of the time). I always respected that.

so it's no surprise to me that again, Epic would follow the pragmatic decision and choose to adopt AI, despite inevitable public backslash. well done.

@gdechichi It's pargamatic because it's the best way to get investor money, not beacuse it produces the best results.

@ExodusPgame pragmatic because that’s what developers are gravitating towards. while the public discourse is against AI, when I talked with artists and designers for the past year, they were all vibe coding their tools, and happy they didn’t depend on a programmer for every little change. If Unreal doesn’t become AI friendly their users will switch to an engine that is.

@gdechichi What kind of tools? Tools in-engine or tools in the 3d software?

@gdechichi @ExodusPgame Even the ones who are the most against AI will be the first ones to buy the cheaper games that AI can provide. Its the same hypocrisy everywhere. It is a human condition. Usually, the most morally loud is because they are totally disconnected from even their own actions.
