Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" : technology

All the nuance is lost in these discussions. It's something else when you're pushing slop made 100% with AI, and something else if you're using AI for mundane stuff like secondary voice lines in ARC Raiders for example

So, then you are in favor of the disclosures?

I'm in favor of the disclosures for my own personal reasons, but I see a lot of people who are anti-AI usage based on "vibes" and that does not sit well with me. If people are disregarding the positive benefits of the technology because "vibes", it makes me doubt the validity of those opinions.

Dude, I think you're making up a guy to be mad at. People more often like AI because of vibes. There's a fucking thing called vibe coding, and I'm supposed to take people seriously as software developers as they use the phrase.

Cool.

Maybe they can also stop forcing updates that break my game, too?

Fortunately, GOG exists. Which proves that Steam doesn't need to force the updates on us, but chooses to.

It is a fools errand and I do not understand why the smart people at Valve do not understand this. First…it relies on the developer to add the tag. Second the developer may not even know an asset they bought used AI in its creation. Most AI researchers agree that it will become near impossible to determine if an asset was generated with AI, and even using AI to detect will just mean when it does detect, it now knows how to create one that cannot be detected and we end up in a cat and mouse race that humans have no ability to play in.

We already have tools to rank titles and if it is AI slop, a low effort copycat game, the ratings will reflect this regardless of the tech that may or may not have been used.

I would hazard to guess that are countless titles that used some AI in its development, perhaps unbeknownst to the developer. Plus, what if a developer made everything from scratch themselves but used AI on one texture to upscale it…does this get an AI label even though it amounts to something like 0.00001% do the title? AI labels are a fools errand and we all need to just rely on the rating system and judge titles on their merits not the tools that made them as like I said, it will become into know AI was used.
