That might be the right nuance. Not that it wouldn’t be better, but that it would remain great.

I also think “go in without knowing anything” is a marketing crutch, whether people know they’re doing that or not. “Don’t attempt to gain any information to help determine whether you might like this.”

Some version of “not the first play on this date” is interesting. Not foolproof by any means, but maybe works well enough.

I had a crazy experience just last week where I played a full game myself, and then shared the link on a group chat and it turned out I’d played exactly the same five moves as another player.

Some disclaimers:
a) definitely not claiming these are useful or high quality
b) reasonable to argue I could've/should've just learned to code
c) not defending the real ethical/environmental/societal related to GenAI

I’m not a developer but I’ve made a few daily games only with AI help. I’m not going to argue they’re world changing by any means, just mild distractions.

Does coding with LLM aid count as “GenAI helped us produce this”? I think there’s likely a lot of “this would not have happened without those tools” for that.
