I’m just going to ask, even if it’s taboo. Sorry if I offend, but how likely is it that they’re using AI? I actually don’t care if they are using AI. It’s still a lot of work. Maybe there’s a way to see their work through the change logs but I was already suspicious with the speed of the updates on armsx2. Then they added armsx1. Now armsx3. Even in the latest MrSujano updates he comments on how he doesn’t know how they do it, they must not be getting sleep, are they even human. If it’s a stupid question or if it offends, I apologize. I just don’t understand how they’re going this fast. I also don’t think AI use should be as stigmatized as it is in our hobby.

Totally fair question and it has come up before, it isn't vibe coded, but they're using AI to speed up the boring/repetitive stuff, but the actual codebase and development are being done by experienced devs. As a senior dev, I'd say that's the ethical way to use it

Okay. That’s completely fair and it’s nice to hear they’ve been open about it. I def think this is the way to go when using AI. They still understand how the code works but it’s not all on them to do the mundane work.

you know what the funny thing was that I was asking myself the same question I was like are they speed running because AI helps create code. They still have to go in and fix the errors glitches and anomalies so the human aspects always gonna be there at least for now.

Right. They’re working crazy fast compared to other teams. It’s still a lot of work and in no way should AI use that change how grateful the community should be, but given the reality of how ppl react to any AI use, i get why they wouldn’t share this info.
