Anti-AI people have turned off their brains. An AI cannot replicate the logic behind game mechanics without digging into the code, nor can it see inside the brain of a creator and understand their philosophy nor personality from a mere demo.
AI is impressive and very useful, but it ain’t witchcraft. I have been trying to vibecode assorted projects, and my local AI failed three of them - and succeeded at a bunch of others. Every time, no matter the result, a lot of QA had to be done to figure out the guts of the target program, and how to get the intended result.
Just because the bar is lower to get things done, doesn’t remove the need for effort and thought. No different from a forklift, hand mixer, or a word processor.

The problem isn’t that they are making high quality clones. The problem is that people crap out shit-tier clones en masse before you can even release, making the good original game basically invisible in store fronts and creating an association of the genre with low effort asset flips in the customers minds.
