Much to my chagrin, AI has become a very powerful programming tool and is used to write a lot of code.

So much so that a majority of devs I know IRL are basically just code reviewers and don’t actually program like they used to.

Granted, I do not work in the game industry, so it might be different there.

Edit: now that I think about it, just because I don't care doesn't mean it shouldn't be disclosed. I'm just too tired to care at this point, I just wanna play good games, and admittedly I could just ignore the AI discourse around a game i'm interested in. Transparency is good. I'll still leave my original comment below, I tried to explain myself but did so quite poorly I guess:

Because I honestly don't really care about the code, I think a game can be good and worth its price even if the dev used an AI tool somewhere in the programming. I think the game should be judged by how good it is overall, and worrying about the non-visible parts of it is a bit of a waste of time, imo. A buggy mess will always be a buggy mess, and fortunately games have reviews warning users of slop. There are so many aspects to game development and design, that you can quite easily tell when a game was made with passion, instead of being a sloppy cash-grab.

I guess i'm just optimistic that when the AI bubble eventually pops some actually viable, non-destructive and overall helpful tools remain and the slop goes away
