Lucas Pope er blandt de mest indflydelsesrige solo-udviklere i branchen i dag, med spil bag sig som Papers, Please og Return of the Obra Dinn, men han kommer ikke til at fremvise hvad han arbejder på nu før spillet er helt færdigt, og det skyldes en frygt for at en AI vil se projektet og stjæle det.
I den seneste udgave af Mike & Rami-podcastet udtaler Pope sig således omkring hans frygt for AI
"But I also like to talk about the stuff I'm working on, and I think, just now, the situation just feels different to me. You don't really talk about stuff when you're working on it, because I don't know that it's going to get slurped up by AI or people are going to copy it, or something else like that. It's not a hard rule. It's just I got a feeling about that. And I just didn't feel as comfortable talking about the stuff I was working on again. So I hope that sort of breaks, and I can feel comfortable talking about the stuff I'm working on."
Han er ikke den eneste, for i en verden hvor AI-suiter tydeligvis har ladet sig træne af al det indhold der ligger online, også uden tilladelse, så er det måske ikke så mærkeligt.
