Tim Sweeny is the biggest loser out there next to elon musk.
I hear him, and will now assume anything they put out is ai generated. Don’t even need the disclosure when they give themselves away by complaining so much.
You don’t need to assume. Unreal Engine 6 promises Generative AI is a major part of it.
I can’t tell if this guy just constantly has bad takes and a shitty world view or if he knows saying controversial shit is what gets headlines. Maybe it’s both.
I think it’s more just Tim Sweeney trying to be a “billionaire influencer”. He has a lot of money and yes men surrounding him, so he believes everything he thinks must by that fact be the correct take.
It’s extraordinarily irresponsible of dear Mr Sweeney to get out of bed every morning, and yet he sadly so often does.
Epic ceo is master class in how not to attract paying consumer base.
If they don’t want to be labeled, then don’t use it?
Same applies for other stuff like Denuvo.
I say it’s irresponsible and petty to keep Alan Wake 2 an Epic Store exclusive.
Oh wow, didn’t realize that! Now I feel justified in pirating it, thanks for the heads up!
Steam really ought to learn their lessons, Tim is only trying to help. They’re still crippled from their decision not to allow blockchain games while Epic used the opportunity to eat their lunch /s
Epic, like Bungie is an ugly shadow of its former glory. They’ll both be gone soon enough.
He sounds like a big complainer.
This dude can go eat a dick. We don’t want your AI slop.
Sure miss sweeney. Don’t worry your pretty little head, you’re not even competition for GOG, so keep throwing shit around, you’re just smearing yourself.
oh yeah, and keep the free games coming. It’s the only thing anyone ever “buys” on your sad little platform.
AHAHAHA!!!
HAHAHAHAHA!!!
…lol
The problem is how to define “use AI”
And as there is no sure way to detect if something is AI made or not well. Only bad quality will eventually be a clue. But humans can make bad stuff too. Guess will have to pay more attention to quality.
I feel like that’s the question, not if it was used as a binary flag.
Consumers want to know, so it’s probably a good idea to tell them.
But there’s a gradient. AI generated art assets aren’t the same as AI generated concept art, which isn’t the same as AI generated code, which isn’t the same as AI code completion. If you include the AI search results everyone is adding you’d be hard pressed to find something that didn’t use AI in a sense now.
What I care about is if your stuff is some generated slop code that will crash mid game and no one will ever be able to fix it. That any art that’s supposed to catch my eye has human intention behind it, and not just random generation.
I don’t want any AI that people feel the need to hide.
I should probably care more about filler assets, but I don’t really. If it’s the same to me if the creator handmade their grass texture or found a random one online, I’m kinda indifferent about if it’s AI.Steam’s system has the binary flag, and then gives space for developers to explain in their own words how AI generated code was used in the process, (IE: Arc Raiders mentioning its use for physics simulations, COD giving a more generic “used throughout development” line). There will be plenty of people who will see “AI content included” and will stop reading the store page after that, and that is their decision. For people who read the explanation, they can get a better idea of what kind of usage they are dealing with, and decide if it’s still worth buying the game.
Absolutely 100% the correct take as far as I can see. Just need to get that information on a form to fill out like a drop down under the “used AI” tag.
