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.
The only people who will side with him are c-suite dipshits protecting corporate interests and AI/Tech bros lacking a grip on reality. Fuck you, Sweeney, you piece of shit.
I’m generally pro-AI but I still think the disclosure is nice to have and should not be removed.
People have a right to informed decisions. If they want a product that had “no AI” in its making (although let’s be honest, a game might not contain AI generated audiovisual assets, but a form of AI, even generative AI, is almost guaranteed to have been used during the creation of the game), they can vote with their wallets.
Back when metaverse was the hot shit bubble, he was bragging how fortnite is the metaverse and was clearly the future.
Funny, not a single techbro vould meaningfully distinguish games from the metaverse.
Closest thing we’ve got to a metaverse right now is easily VRChat.
One could argue SecondLife as well, but it seems to be dying from my understanding.
Rich guy doing rich guy things. They never expect reality to catch up with them until it does 🤷
Even the 30% is not unreasonable given how much stuff you get with steam compared to going elsewhere
So basically Tim Epic just wants to lie to consumers?
I know, we’re aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall shocked
Context?
Epic Games CEO wants Steam to remove AI disclosures
Hahaha, dey gave da git da wrong finkin kap!
Kinda cool how they admitted AI disclaimers aren’t a “stamp of quality” and these “chatbot anime-girlfriend technology” investors were overhyping how much people want it.
…by suing people
Games that use AI are worse thang games that don’t
People should know what they are buying
Games that use AI are worse thang games that don’t
I mean, a digital image is a digital image. But AI generation can’t seem to produce anything consistently as a consequence of the process of inference. Case in point:
Imagine trying to play a game of Mario or Metal Gear Solid, but the character models keep changing in subtle ways. Ways that don’t indicate any kind of change in play state, just the consequence of putting “mushroom with human face and tap dancing shoes” into the prompt engine and getting a different kind of weird half-approximation of a Goomba every time.
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.
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 usually 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 can see the future now: “it turned out video games were an attack vector by hackers who poisoned LLMs with a new type of programming virus”
If you think humans review code in corporations… as an engineer who actually loves feedback on my code… 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah lot of talk about reading each other’s code… I have also found that the only space that happens in is open source. And boy do they scrutinize
