I have had an influx of these game decomps on my Instagram recently and was wondering why so many were appearing out of nowhere. Shortly after that influx, the open-sourcing Adobe Suit thing happened and again its on my feed. Most of these projects use AI to make it easier to decomply these things and understand why it was used but I am a bit worried about the implications. As in, will these decomps actually be stable? Will they be maintained? Will companies start lobbying for AI laws harder now, in a way it benefits them and not us?
I personally stay away from AI due to the many issues AI brings but I am a fan of people fighting big companies but is this the way to do it?
I’d rather see open source software get the rescources they need to “catch up” to the monopolies.
The stuff ai is spitting out won’t be easy to maintain and any securrity vunerabilites will go unpatched. Attempting to maintain this software with ai will just result in making more dataceneters and more communities will be fucked over.
However, if adobe and microsoft sucesfully claim ai has stolen their code, than they might set the legal president that AI has to follow copyright laws. Which could help artists (wishfull thinking, I know).
