"Why do we have to take ethics classes for a computer science degree?"

This is why. And frankly, we should be failing more students for inadequately demonstrating their understanding of the topic.

Let's review some fun historical examples of why "No, actually quality will continue to matter."

The "word" of the year is AI slop, I'm so happy, the mainstream backlash is happening for real
Merriam-Webster’s 2025 word of the year is 'slop'
Merriam-Webster’s 2025 word of the year is “slop.” The word was first used in the 1700s to mean soft mud. It evolved more generally to mean something of little value.

Larian, in case you hadn't realized, we aren't just objecting to genAI being detectable in the final product. We are objecting to genAI being used AT ALL. AT ANY POINT. EVER. FULL STOP.

If you use it during the dev process but then replace it by the time the game ships, that doesn't make it okay.
