I feel like this is less of a big decision and more of a 'duh' sort of situation. To my understanding this isn't saying that all AI art violates copyright, but that AI art which does violate copyright can't be used.

Like if i took a picture of Darth Vader and handed it to NightCafe to fool around with, that still belongs to Disney. Steam is legally required to act if a valid DMCA is sent, and to adhere to the court's ruling in the case of a dispute.

I feel like this is a reassurance that they intend to obey copyright law rather than a restriction of all AI art. Basically they're saying that if you DMCA someone in good faith on the basis of derivative works, they'll play ball.

Valve was also the company to ban games from Steam, that made use of NFT and Crypto Currencies. While at the same time Epic Games publicly defended NFT and said they can publish their games on their platform. I wonder if the same will happen with AI asset flip games.

I'm just worried how to detect AI assets.
