Hi everyone. I’ve been following the discussion about AI being used in VRChat worlds, and I’d like to be open about how I work. Yes, I use AI as an assistant - it helps me write code, UdonSharp scripts and Unity tools.
But the world’s concept, atmosphere and design, the decisions about what stays and what goes, the countless tests on PC and Quest, and the bug fixing are all done by me. Sometimes a single small detail goes through twenty iterations before it works the way I imagined. I understand the concerns.
Nobody wants low-effort worlds made with “one click”, and artists and modelers worrying about their work is a real issue that I respect. That’s exactly why I’m open about the tools I use. For me, AI isn’t a replacement for creativity. It’s a way for one person to build what would normally take a whole team.
Everything I make is released for free for the community. I’m not asking anyone to change their mind. I’m just inviting you to visit my worlds and judge by the result.
Very bold to assume it in the middle of the dumptserfire there was on social media.
I gotta say that i understand your position and personally really appreciate that you were able to express it publically, i can’t tolerate harassment personally.
That being said, i just looked at the last worlds you uploaded (if i’m not wrong with the same name). if we are being honest, i would say that the use of AI thumbnails, even if in relation to the world are missleading and may not be acceptable regarding the Creators Guidelines.
That’s of course my opinion but as we are expressing opinions here, I believe that’s on topic.
I don’t think using AI to help you understand how to write code is necessarily a problem. I write my own code, but there are times when I ask ChatGPT to help me figure out what I’m doing wrong or where a mistake might be. The bigger concern, in my opinion, is the one-click worlds you mentioned, and potentially similar issues involving avatars in the future. Who knows? Maybe someone will eventually create a more advanced avatar-searching world or tool capable of finding even private or hidden content. That’s where I think the real problem lies, rather than simply using AI as a tool to learn, troubleshoot, or improve your coding skills.
Using it for code isn’t a problem. Developers of all backgrounds have resorted to using sites like StackOverflow to get that very specific thing that they can’t figure out - getting someone/something else to write the code for you. It’s no different with AI, except its faster and instant.
Since it’s possible to spit out whole worlds with nothing but a prompt, people will flock to generate as much as they can. But they forget that VRChat has to store the bundled asset onto their servers, which costs money.
Eventually, VRChat will resort to raising VRC+ prices or taking more % out of creator’s payouts to cover the bill. Everyone gets upset. Everyone leaves VRChat. VRChat can’t pay the bills anymore. Service is shut down. All because of AI bros. And we’ll blame it on them to their graves.
On the contrary, a vibecoded partial 3D world recreation of Furality Ultra Club F.Y.N.N. (Starship Raceway) from 2D screenshots of the club with AI reverse engineered DMX lights decoding from a video stream (bring your own Furality VOD) is one of the best uses for generative AI I’ve seen on this platform and I appreciate it being a thing. Everything in it is AI generated, including the moving video panels from decoded video streams.
The original Furality Ultra Club F.Y.N.N. is no longer available.
Yes, I’ll take your advice and make the miniatures identical to the original.
To be honest, I myself avoid trashy worlds. I don’t like low‑quality stuff!
I’m curious, I’ll take a look at this world. If AI can be used to create high‑quality content rather than just publish nonsense, then it’s worth paying attention to!
A short video demo of the Ultra VOD decoder world.
This is meowmix’s DJ set from Furality Ultra.
The venue key was accidentally off in the video above. The floor can be lit.
so there more worlds we make , the more we will have to pay?
I’m not a fan of forming an equivalence between Stack Overflow and AI. People post to Stack Overflow specifically to help people learn how to code, and it is done with consent, and about teaching concepts so that the person asking questions now has the knowledge to do it themselves.
Conversely, AI codegen is trained without the consent of the myriad unrecognized programmers who wrote the underlying code, and while some people do use its output to learn techniques, the vast majority of it is just copy-pasted verbatim and without understanding on the part of the person requesting it.
