AI Can't Read Fun
Steam’s 2026 AI disclosure update now asks developers three specific questions about generative AI use, leading to one in five new releases flagging AI‑generated content. The article argues that AI can handle the mathematical side of level design—constraint solving and variant generation—but cannot judge the fun factor, which remains a human task. It breaks game level creation into three modes (pre‑generated, real‑time, player‑generated) and shows how AI fits differently in each. A crossword‑puzzle case study illustrates the same math‑versus‑creativity split, reinforcing the need for human oversight.
AI Is Not a Coding Tool. It’s a New Operating System.
The author argues that generative AI tools like Claude Code are evolving from mere code generators into a new operating system for computers. By shifting the interface to speech and visual outputs, AI can install software, operate tools, and execute tasks...
