Hi there. This post reads a lot like it was generated or strongly assisted by AI. If so, please consider amending it to comply with the DEV.to guidelines concerning such content...

From "The DEV Community Guidelines for AI-Assisted and -Generated Articles":

AI-assisted and -generated articles should…

  • Be created and published in good faith, meaning with honest, sincere, and harmless intentions.
  • Disclose the fact that they were generated or assisted by AI in the post, either upfront using the tag #ABotWroteThis or at any point in the article’s copy (including right at the end). - For example, a conclusion that states “Surprise, this article was generated by ChatGPT!” or the disclaimer “This article was created with the help of AI” would be appropriate.
  • Ideally add something to the conversation regarding AI and its capabilities. Tell us your story of using the tool to create content, and why!

Hello there I'd like to point out that it was strongly human written only with a little AI assistance. I took a lot of time on this. As a matter of fact here is the proof:

Although thank you very much for guiding me on how to post AI assisted content on this Platform.

Well it might not have been AI generated, but it could as well have been. It lacks any depth whatsoever. Lists lack comparison of features. There is no actual info how to start. It's like a mediocre high school presentation.

Thank you very much Mr Arthur. I'd like to tell you that I am working on publishing a fully comprehensive guide and it's going to take some time. Although, I'd like to state that I was just talking about the things one need's to know when starting out in the field but not to worry a comprehensive guide is coming up. I really appreciate your response. Have a great day.

I said that it reads like AI generated content.

Also, that detector appears to do nothing (a lot of them don't work) - any content I give it gives the same score as you... even content straight out of ChatGPT.

From tests, I've seen zerogpt.com and gptzero.me give quite accurate results on AI detection.

Oh wow. But thanks a lot.
Infact I have added that I was got some assistance from chatgpt.

Than you very much man.

Not to be a jerk but I agree with @jonrandy . I actually thought this was AI generated too...

Hello Salman, I read your post and the comments about ChatGPT, and I have to say it can feel like people are pointing fingers, but it comes from a good place. We are trying to make DEV Community as humanized as possible because if all posts are AI-generated, it would be kind of boring, right? It is nice to read something and see the author's personality behind it.

But please don't get discouraged by it, okay? You can use ChatGPT to assist you; I do it sometimes, especially because English is not my native language. I hope you continue writing for DEV and sharing your knowledge with the community!

I personally thought, your article was very good! I didn’t realize any “lack of personality” or even noticed the use of CHATGPT??? I’m new here and a complete noob, buttt I really liked your article! It really inspired me and got me encouraged to try creating my game again! So thanks for the easy to follow links and points! :D
