While he isn't against AI "as a whole technology," indie game dev veteran David Szymanski of Dusk and Iron Lung fame is not at all interested in using generative AI to make games.

Speaking with GamesRadar+, Szymanski echoes much of our report on why so many game developers don't want to use gen AI. He says any discussion on the tech has to start by waving off "all the ethical concerns about plagiarism, environmental impact, and job security, which on their own are enough to put me off the technology in its current forms."
