Well you got stuff like this:

https://automaton-media.com/en/news/ai-generated-rip-off-of-unfinished-japanese-indie-game-beats-original-to-release-sparking-concerns-about-safety-of-sharing-dev-progress/

Unfortunately I think Lucas Pope's concerns are valid.

an individual called “Kamaboko Kōsatsu Kōsatsu” (not affiliated with the original Kamaboko) posted a game likewise called “Typing Magician” to Unityroom. The game, with striking similarities to the still-in-progress project by Kamaboko, quickly accumulated almost 30k hits, making it to the platform’s “Popular New Releases” category.

So a person stole the idea and made it into a game?

Right. AI coding assistant help users move fast. If the user is a thief, that's on the thief. A competent developer of a thief, considering the game worked at all. AI alone accomplishes none of this.

I think something happened with Ridiculous Fishing pre-AI too. A really hasty clone gained a bunch of undue attention.
