If you like or don't mind using Go, check out Ebiten as well. I think it's similar to Raylib in spirit, but it also supports Nintendo Switch, iOS and Xbox. IIRC it uses native graphics APIs (Metal for MacOS, DirectX for Windows) w

But what if ChatGPT always had this issue, and it's now becoming more apparent because people are using it more? That sounds more likely to me. Maybe it's not like watching someone develop Alzheimer's, but more like watching
