I asked Claude itself what a session it would terminate because of "abusive behavior" would actually look like. This is what I got. It makes a lot of sense to me, not gonna lie.

Oh boy, oh boy. A Geometry Dash level was getting big praise by the community. People freaking loved it. A major YouTuber showcased it. Moderators submitted it for an official rating. Then... dum dum dum! people discovered it was made with AI. Suddenly, outrage. Now the level is gone. Here's the thing: the level didn't change. The gameplay didn't change. The quality didn't change. Only people's perception of how it was created changed. I make games with AI. I'm completely upfront about that. I've never pretended otherwise. If someone lies about how they made something, criticize the dishonesty. Fair enough. I get that, even though I think it's silly to even care about this. However if you loved something yesterday and suddenly hate it today because you discovered AI was involved, you're no longer judging the work. You're judging whether the creator used tools you personally approve of. There's absolutely nothing wrong with celebrating traditional craftsmanship. But there IS something wrong with pretending good work suddenly becomes bad because of the tools used to create it. In my opinion anyway. The world is changing. The tools are changing. The barriers to creating incredible things are coming down. Sorry, gatekeepers! That's something worth celebrating, not getting pissy about. And frankly, this obsession with policing how something was made rather than judging the result is getting seriously ridiculous.
