Nonsense. Procedural generation is a rule-based deterministic system while generative AI is probabilistic and data driven. It's fundamentally different.
Markov chains are both probabilistic and data-driven. For example. LLMs are not that far removed from markov chains. Should game developers be allowed to use latent spaces or is that too sloppy AI?
Okay, but (ignoring that procedural generation can also be probabilistic) what is the functional difference? The point I'm getting at is that you cannot banish the one without necessarily limiting the other.
It’s less of a functional different and more of a moral one.
Content theft is a separate issue. We can agree to ban the fruits of content theft without drawing arbitrary technical taboos.
