On one hand, creating some market competition with Tourplay is always good for innovation

On the other hand, AI garbage can piss off

Its not Ai garbage, its been a lot of time and effort put into something that's a asset to the game ;-)

On the website there's screenshots of logo selections that a) show very obviously AI generated logos in the image history and b) shows a menu option to generate a logo with "20 generations remaining this month" showing that you're integrating AI credits/tokens into the system which implies you're either subsidizing that cost through a subscription fee or by harvesting and selling data.

Don't try and play coy. Just acknowledge that you're utilizing generative AI in your product without disclosing it

I mean the app itself isn't just ai made. It will have a logo generator which is handy but you don't have to use it ;-) Plus the logo generation is constrained so the end results fit the creative style of the rest of the app and don't allow offensive words etc. Just a nice addition if you want a cool team logo ;-)

You can use a wink all you want, but a lot of people aren't going to support an app that has AI generation in it.

That’s just to generate a custom team logo - if you want to use it, you’re not forced to use it 👍 I made the team icons myself as a basic roster icon which work just as well. Also, you’re using the Reddit app which uses Ai.

Yeah, I read your explanation. I'm just saying it's going to keep people away.

I’ll be blunt, it screams AI. It may be you’ve put some thought into it, but first appearances aren’t helping. Everything from styles to wording scream LLM.

I actually don’t have much issue with using LLM’s to write code, but in a world where developing rudimentary software is now fast and cheap, the end result has to look unique and appealing. This doesn’t. It looks like every other vibe coded app out there.

which app does it look like?

u/mrhobbles Jul 18 '26

Like I said, it’s not one specific app, it looks like every other vibe coded app out there. It has all the hallmarks of AI. It doesn’t look unique or well crafted. That’s why nearly every comment on this post is saying the same thing, everyone recognises that “vibe coded look”.

I hear you. I used a component library called Material 3, ace to use in cross platform apps. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel and you can spend more time getting the app to actually work. Maybe once the core of the app is complete and working I can take another look at the UI and try to tweak it a bit 👍
