> With regards to photography, it never replaced painting. Not even portrait painting. And the reason is that, to get your portrait done by an actual painter was always very expensive; and I’m sure you understand why.

But that’s why they are basically the same. AI coding might very well get us to a point that literally anyone can make a quick game or conversion, in the same way you can point your phone camera and something and snap a picture.

But quality costs, whether it’s time, effort or money. And if you want quality ports and games, then ultimately it’s going to require someone with skill. Now that person may do it entirely by hand (portrait painting) or with controlled use of AI tools (like a pro photographer).

I don’t have an issue with labelling content as using AI, but sooner or later that’s just going to be a very meaningless tag to apply.
