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 I feel somewhat conflicted about this. At what point is AI not just another tool a developer or creative person can add to their toolbox? Long, long ago I hand coded 8 bit sprite matrixes. Then came tools to draw your sprites which dumped the matrix for you. 3D is just a long road of ever more versatile tools that let you apply templates and logic to create and animate what you need.
@fschaap @gamingonlinux I think the line can be drawn at where did they get their AI data set from. If they're taking it without payment (or credit) to the original creator, that has got to be a red flag. If they're using their own in-house data (like some stock photo places have) that raises fewer concerns. Of course, that's ignoring the massive energy requirements AI has, but so do a bunch of industries.
