This is just overly broad. If I use a LLM to aid me in debugging doesn't mean the game is tainted.
I guess the issue is the wording of the statement and not the tag itself.
The line between using Gen AI as a tool and and putting unfiltered output out there is very blurry.
SteamDB is a third-party service, not affiliated with Valve.
Still, it gives consumers the choice. If you choose not to consume diamonds due to the whole diamond thing, that's fine even though synthetics exist.
Then, isn't it best to say what you used the AI on, so that consumers can make even better choices?
It's like giving people the choice to not eat carbon because some forms, like natural diamonds, are exploitative. People cheer because nobody wants to eat pencil dust since it tastes so bad.
It sounds like a great idea as long as you don't understand how anything works.
(For the people that don't understand how anything works: Carbon is an integral component of literally everything that you will ever eat)
This analogy would make more sense if GenAI was an integral component of literally every video game we play, but it isn't, not even close
The issue is that you cannot tell if the tooling used Gen AI. I.e. the developer used Gen AI to respond to some e mail or as a rubber duck.
That's the point of the AI disclosure though, to inform customers that your game contains AI generated content. And the amount of games containing AI generated content is incomparable to the amount of foods containing carbon (ie, all of them).
Also, if a developer uses AI to "respond to some email", by my reading of Steam's rules governing AI disclosures, they wouldn't need to disclose that. So I'm not sure why you're bringing that up.
Exactly.
People are focused on art because its easy to meme on and playing 'spot the AI' makes people feel like they're discerning individuals with refined tastes. Short clips of generated music is 100% indistinguishable from human-made. Code is invisible to the average user.
AI-based tools have already been rapidly adopted in industries that experience heavy competition, like game development. Essentially all professional tools include either integrated generation or support for using generative models. Coding is no exception.
It isn't the case that "AI will soon be used by developers unless we stop them". We're living in the "AI is being used and only rarely spotted" age now.
