The threat of your game idea being taken isn’t from AI, it’s from people.
An AI at worst will add the tweet or whatever you put out into its model and in 6 months it’ll get released in the new version where maybe one day it might influence an output.
A human at worst will sit there an deliberately make your idea for themselves and publish it before you can.
an individual called “Kamaboko Kōsatsu Kōsatsu” (not affiliated with the original Kamaboko) posted a game likewise called “Typing Magician” to Unityroom. The game, with striking similarities to the still-in-progress project by Kamaboko, quickly accumulated almost 30k hits, making it to the platform’s “Popular New Releases” category.

Right. AI coding assistant help users move fast. If the user is a thief, that’s on the thief. A competent developer of a thief, considering the game worked at all. AI alone accomplishes none of this.

Unfortunately I think Lucas Pope’s concerns are valid.

I think something happened with Ridiculous Fishing pre-AI too. A really hasty clone gained a bunch of undue attention.
