    What exactly are you suggesting here? That using an LLM to reverse-engineer a video game, modify its code, and create an entirely new experience constitutes plagiarism?

    Do you understand what plagiarism actually means? It means passing off someone else’s work as your own. It has absolutely nothing to do with whether someone uses AI to reverse-engineer software, modify an existing game, or develop an entirely new way to experience it.

    There may be legitimate arguments to be made about copyright infringement and intellectual property rights, but those are entirely different discussions.

    And what does the statement about AI companies being the only ones allowed to plagiarize even mean? Are you suggesting that modifying an existing video game is somehow equivalent to an AI company training a model on copyrighted material?

    You’re conflating completely different concepts, and the result is an accusation that doesn’t even make sense in the context of what’s being discussed.
