Future? No Thanks! creator admits using generative AI despite calling it 'technofascist'

Paulo Pedercini (Molleindustria) disclosed that his AI satire Future? No Thanks! used generative AI: about 1% of its code for debugging and roughly two minutes of ElevenLabs text-to-speech for two characters. He called AI a 'technofascist, anti-human and anti-art project' but justified the use as pragmatic.

• About 1% of the game's code was written with ChatGPT or Claude for debugging
• Two characters use ~2 minutes of ElevenLabs text-to-speech
• Pedercini calls AI a 'technofascist, anti-human and anti-art project'
• He says all art and writing in the game are AI-free
