It was all great until they mentioned LLM usage.

The demoscene and homebrew scene is dying as we speak.

No it's not, but it's splitting into pro-AI and anti-AI segments.

Think about it, if someone embedded GPT-2 into a demo in 2019 the same scene would've found it hilarious. It's not the AI, it's how we use AI and everyone being sick of it.

Is it such a sin that he used an LLM to transpile some code?
