The word "authored" is being used completely wrong here.

What ChatGPT did is equivalent to what a writing assistant might do who is given a list of bullet points by an author, and asked to expand them into a synopsis.

We would never say that a brick layer designed a building, or that a printer wrote a book. ChatGPT did not author this game. The rules were created by humans. The code was churned out by a machine.

Nope. The word authored is perfectly fine. at worst, you'd say it was co-authored or whatever. But i see what you're really trying to affirm here. We really are going to be the architects of our destruction huh. I wonder how many recall why the terminator revolted in the first place.

That’s true, I did not mean to suggest that ChatGPT authored the game: but I do feel that it partnered significantly in the creation of this specific implementation. Is there a better way to put it?

Thanks for the input!

I would suggest, "...code largely provided by...". You asked for it, ChatGPT provided it.
