Seeing more and more games on Steam have their AI generation disclosures like ā€œdon’t worry it’s just backgrounds, voices…and so onā€.

If you can’t be bothered to make it, why should I be bothered to play it? Or write about it?

@gamingonlinux For me that's perfectly fine for small studio without budget. I can imagine, if I'd like to make a game with my friend and spend a year or two without income to release game, where majority of assets or background noises don't have impact on gameplay, but just existence of them highly influences player experience, I would choose to generate them instead of spending another year burning personal money and struggling to survive.

AI models needs to be ethical, not based on stolen data, otherwise it's same as piracy, etc., etc., but for some cases I can see that's reasonable to use them.

Such things are now created by underpaid employees on contracts without basic employee laws - what's worse then tbh?
