Dwarf Fortress creator Tarn Adams on why he hates generative AI

Dwarf Fortress creator Tarn Adams says he has never been tempted to use generative AI in the game, calling AI-written code bloated and saying you can tell a vibe-coded game when your computer fan starts spinning. He notes he has worked with traditional AI for decades but now avoids the term entirely, and says only platform pressure from Microsoft could force him toward generative AI.
