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?

Inflammatory wording on my part, just to hammer the point home. The point still remains either way. Apologies if anyone is upset by the ā€œcan’t be bothered bitā€.

I get hundreds of emails per week, sometimes in a day - what am I gonna pick? AI, or one without? Easy choice.

And I see people are jumping on kitbashing and pre-made assets and stuff but - that is *entirely different*. Someone, an actual person, still put effort into it. Tons of games reuse assets all the time, there’s literally nothing wrong with that.
@gamingonlinux the audio clip of a pig oinking in Warcraft 2 comes to mind. Pretty sure they just used a well-known clip from a sound library because I've heard it so many other places. And it's totally fine
