        Ah I didn’t realize it was that big of an impossibility to get ai to update old minecraft mods no one else is interested in, no way I’ll ever be able to learn to code without going back to highschool

          It’s alright! There’s a multibillion dollar advertising operation working to convince us that generative AI can do these sorts of things. Plus, it’s always tough to go through someone else’s work, much less mods from a decade ago that were written by ambitious amateurs. I couldn’t read my own code after a couple of months if I wasn’t such an absurd over-commenter.

          If you want a chill intro to the real situation, I highly recommend this episode of On the Media that had Ed Zitron on. You could knock it out over a commute or two no problem: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/articles/brooke-talks-ai-with-ed-zitron

          A funnier and angrier thing that explains why this won’t work can be found here: https://ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/i-will-fucking-piledrive-you-if-you-mention-ai-again/

            This all bad news, guess I’ll never see an emulator written based on how the original game plays, but that would only matter if it was any more dmca proof than humans doing it and I know even less about that

                Ya sorry about that I was writing a few seconds at a time while at work and at the best of times I tend to write in a disjointed way
