| I'm not to most positive about AI generated stuff, especially in terms of text and images. But with code, it is a neat tool. I think it is especially cool in building stuff to retro specs. It has allowed many to do stuff in days or weeks that previously could have been months. Projects that don't really have much value in terms of money but are just nice to have kind of things. This project is a great example of this. It does come back to that question though of who will pay for the code generation but that is something for someone else. |

The fact that AI can even generate working real-mode 16-bit code reasonably well and not turn into Electron-levels of inefficiency was most surprising. | | |

That is hardware that works in a totally opposite fashion to how Doom runs. It is a 12Mhz 68K chip with no frame buffer. And yet, they are making it work and with surprising performance. Considering how little open Neo Geo code is probably out there to train on, that these models can build to this is very impressive. |

| OP wasn't talking about code but aesthetics. |

| The term "AI slop" has lost all meaning. It was originally coined to mean low-quality material that was obviously generated by AI, like pictures of humans with distorted features and the wrong number of fingers. But a whole bunch of people have decided that anything generated by AI is "slop", regardless of quality. It's absolutely obnoxious, especially when people label things as "slop" when AI was merely used for brainstorming and the final product does not contain any AI-generated material at all. |

| ▲ | ColdStream 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I think a big part of the 'slop' term should be associated with people who use it to either deceive others or just flood a place with low quality stuff. It is a matter of opinion but many brandish the term around a little to freely. Some times justified, other times just folks trying to grab some power over others. | |
