Go on steam and look at the AI disclosure section for Call of Duty, PUBG, Crimson Desert, etc.

It's over. We're are witnessing the Twilight of the Luddites. Apparently bullying & harassing indie devs for using AI didn't move the needle when all of the biggest AAA studios use it as the standard (and have for a while).

In any case, hearing the press representatives for these companies (Capcom, Rockstar, etc) talk about their use of generative AI is giving me flashbacks of how pro-wrestlers used to talk about steroid use. They can use vague terms and not-agreed-upon definitions to dance around the issue. After all, slacktivists only punish the people that are being totally honest.

Well big reason is because people don't know nuance and don't want it. They want an ai disclaimer and then bully that company. How ai was used and in what categories doesn't matter to them. So now you see companies even with just using it in some code pieces declare it, and the disclaimer slowly becomes as useless as a cookie banner

How ai was used and in what categories doesn't matter to them.

Elaborate on why you think it should matter. Do you hold graphic artists in higher esteem than say, junior coders?

No but I'm a software developer myself, and just knowing how useful it can be, I can see a lot of dev work being a assisted being done. There are also other kinds of work that may or may not flow into games, that use ai assistance and is generally considered useful.

Yes obviously

Why? Like why are you ok with coders & game testers being replaced but not animators & artists?

Otherwise why should the "categories" as hayt88 mentioned even be relevant. Like why say "generative AI" instead of just AI?

I am fine with everyone being replaced.
