About 人工
A Chinese-language game released as a test build on TapTap; the developer explains the title as 人工智能 (artificial intelligence) with the last two characters dropped. Your story begins in January 2024: you have just graduated and are setting out as a freelance illustrator, on the eve of the AI boom. Inspiration comes from daily life, such as going out to buy groceries, sheltering from rain under the eaves, overhearing the neighbours argue or eating with your family, and these moments drop inspiration cards that you piece together with your own craft into a finished work. As the months pass, AI work that is cheap, easy and fast fills up the online traffic pool (流量池) while people's attention stays limited. In the creator note the developer says that over the days of making the game AI wrote code and drew images for them, and that watching it finish in minutes what used to take them a whole day left them uneasy; in the story there is no set answer on whether or how to use AI, and they did not want to write AI as the villain. The developer adds that development time was very short and much is still unpolished. TapTap marks it as an entry in its 聚光灯 (Spotlight) 2026 21-day game-creation challenge. It is a free trial (试玩 DEMO) on Android, iOS and PC.

How it was built
Partially verifiedIn the creator note on the TapTap page the developer writes that over the days of making the game, AI wrote code and drew images for them ("做这个游戏的这些天里，AI 帮我写代码、画图"), and that watching it finish in minutes what used to take them a whole day made them uneasy. The note does not name a tool or model, or say how much of the code or art AI produced.
- OfficialTapTap files the game under its "聚光灯GameJam" tag and shows the 聚光灯 2026 21-day challenge banner. Neither names the tool used for this game. — TapTap
Made for TapTap's 21-day 聚光灯 2026 challenge, with AI helping to write the code and draw images, per the creator note; the developer says development time was very short. AI is also the game's subject: the story follows an illustrator through the arrival of AI, and the developer describes their understanding of 涌现 (emergence) as many ordinary moments crowding together until they bear fruit.

Verification notes: AI use comes from the developer's creator note on the TapTap page, which says AI helped write the code and draw images (AI 帮我写代码、画图). The note does not say how much of the code AI wrote, so the game is recorded as AI-assisted rather than vibe-coded, and the tool as undisclosed. AI is also the game's theme; that is separate from the build statement, and nothing on the page describes AI-generated content during play. The choice-based label rests on the developer's remark that the story has no set answer on whether and how to use AI; the game itself was not run. Team size is not stated; the note mostly uses the first person but calls the game "咋们的作品" (our work).

The page is not in the 创意工坊 section and does not carry the TapTap制造 tag. The page shows 4 reviews but no score yet, so no rating is recorded (the structured data's rating value is not used). Challenge results were not checked. The page's 热度 (heat) figure is not recorded because it is not confirmed to be downloads. No source outside TapTap was found.
