A quick online multiplayer shooter. Jump in, shoot your friends, laugh.

Shootsy is from the early AI days. The graphics were generated with Midjourney, ChatGPT helped with the concept and the names, and the sounds come from Melobytes. The code was a different story: AI back then could get me started, but I tweaked a lot of it myself until it actually worked.

// The AI score

Geistreich or Geistlos?

In my novel Der Kurator, art is either geistreich, made with human spirit, or geistlos: generated, spiritless. Where exactly the line is, nobody in the book agrees.

For my own stuff I can answer it, case by case. So every project on this site shows how much of it I credit to AI:

There is no 10/10 on this site so far. A 10 would mean I wasn't involved at all in making it. That hasn't happened yet. What a 10/10 project could be one day, and whether it would still be mine, is a question I find pretty interesting.

The number is my own judgement. You're welcome to disagree.
