This is a pretty good test, how long does it take an AI to write a proper pacman clone, and how much prompting. All of these quick efforts look dismal. So how long would it take? 2 days and a lot of back and forth, something like that? The ghost movement in pacman was quite subtle and would take a long time to get right I reckon.
Also this is hilarious:
Unfortunately, my invitation to chat further over Zoom apparently means I’m after his crypto. “[Expletive] you, scammer,” he says. I ask if it would help if I sent over my Guardian credentials. “How about [Expletive] you?” comes the reply.
- copypasterepeat 2y agoAgreed. I feel like the right test would be: "OK, you can use AI to easily generate these pac-man prototypes in an hour or two. But once you get past the 'wow I was able to get all this with so little work', you still have a basically unplayable prototype. Nobody would seriously want to play these or pay for them. How about you make a full-blown pac-man clone with all the nuances of the original? How long does that take? Do you even start converging to the solution at some point or do you keep playing whack-a-mole with bugs and issues?"
