No idea why he thinks anyone will side with him on this. At least the 30% cut thing had some reason behind it no matter how thin.
Games that use AI are worse thang games that don’t
People should know what they are buying
Not necessarily, its just a tool like anything else. Just depends how much its been used and how effectively. I havent been on steam in a long time to see this label popup in the wild, but I suspect it’ll need more nuance to be effective.
“I used AI to write the whole story and do all the voice acting” is gonna suck.
“I used AI to help with the scripting because I suck at coding” might be the greatest game ever just from an individual who doesnt have the skills themselves.
You forgot the:
I’m not really interested in game development, but I needed another side hustle, and I saw a video on YouTube that told me how to publish AI generated games onto Steam with minimal human input. I can’t wait until I get my first Ferrari, so I won’t be a pathetic man in the eyes of Andrew Tate and most women.
AI generated content is what ought to be disclosed, and even then it’s not necessarily a bad thing, though I can see how it might often be. But AI in general encompasses a broad range of tools which is bound to get broader and more ubiquitous with time.
It’s worrying how you think the writing and voice acting are more important than the code in a video game.
Im not sure ill be able to explain myself clearly enough for you to understand
I understand what you mean, I’m saying you’re misunderstanding how ai messing the code up is much more important than it messing up a plotline or giving a character 6 fingers. AI currently isn’t good enough to write flawless code, and you can’t just use ai to code a game without having any prior code experience, you’d have to vet every process. There’s no chance in hell you’ll make the best game ever, as your characters will be going through walls and your objects will be floating or any other countless number of glitches that could occur, let alone the negative effects bad code can have on the hardware that’s trying to run it.
I mean yeah if no parts of a game work then it will suck. Good point.
Context?
So basically Tim Epic just wants to lie to consumers?
