There are only two types of games nowadays. Everything that isn't AAA is labelled "Indie", even when they're with major publishers and have three dozen devs and a hundred externals.
The more they shoehorn copilot into everything, the more they can claim it's the most popular LLM ever and all those billions of dollars were totally not wasted. So please give me my huge bonus
Oh, you wanted code that actually works with your existing codebase? Sorry, here's some additional sludge sprinkled on top of the previous crappy answer.
An AI subscription will have to be the next internet or phone bill for this thing to even think about making a profit.
Not really, since even the paying subscribers are costing the companies money. If they were a baker, they're doing the equivalent of selling 1-dollar loaves of bread that cost 2,50 to knead and bake, and that's not even counting the fact that you need to buy flour first.
I'm honestly surprised people didn't come up with that long before electronic communication.
Not so much the clacks, but flag semaphore towers were a thing long before the electric telegraph was invented. Infact, the term "Telegraph" predates the device we all think by several centuries.
And there are some pretty awesome systems, like the Chappe telegraph which is about 50 years older than the electric telegraph and had hundreds of kilometers of line between french cities, venice and Amsterdam when people started building electric systems.
The downside is that you need at least one operator per tower, every 10 or so kilometers, even if nobody lives there.
That way, mommy and daddy can easily chuck the sealed poop bag out of the nest.
