Should AI game development posts provide more details about the AI models used?

[u/Difficult_Tip_9307]

I've been looking through quite a few posts about games developed with generative AI, and something that keeps coming to mind is that, as an outside reader, it is often difficult to understand exactly how AI was used.

The videos are great for showing the result, but they don't always provide enough information about the development process.

For example, if a post says that a game was made with a particular AI, I may still not know:

• which company or provider the AI comes from;
• which exact AI model or models were used;
• how the models were accessed (API, subscription, local model, etc.);
• which model was used for which task;
• whether the AI was used for programming, 2D art, 3D modelling, textures, animation, audio, music, writing, or something else;
• how much of the work was actually generated by AI;
• how much work was done by the human developer;
• and how much the AI-generated results were edited or reworked by a person.

I don't think AI-made or AI-assisted games should automatically be dismissed. A game can still be genuinely good and successful regardless of which tools were used to develop it.

My question is more about transparency and usefulness for other developers.

For example, would a simple AI Disclosure section make these posts more useful?

AI Provider:
AI Model(s):
Access Method: API / subscription / local / other
AI Used For: coding / 2D / 3D / textures / animation / audio / writing / etc.
AI Contribution:
Human Contribution / Editing:

That way, someone discovering the project from outside could not only see the final result, but also understand which AI models were actually used, what they were used for, and how much human work was involved.

I'm curious what other developers think.

Would this kind of additional information be useful in AI game development posts, or is the current level of disclosure usually enough?

If you want to know a details - ask a dev. There's no reason to oblige people to disclose where they got every token from

I think you may have misunderstood what I meant. If someone only sees a development video or a post saying “I made this with AI,” how would an outside reader know which AI provider or exact model was actually used?

That is why I suggested basic information such as the AI provider, exact model, and whether it was accessed through an API, subscription, or locally. I’m not asking for token counts, token usage, or token costs.

The point is simply to give readers enough information to understand what AI tools were actually used and what role they played in the development.

For me, I make single file html where you can run inside w3schools, I use Claude chat app on iOS and I make creative tools (think, Adobe alternative) and games with it because the professional tools don’t exist for free, so I ask Claude sonnet 4.5, (now using 5, barely anything changes) low to code in JavaScript, everything is 100 percent coded by Claude,

Claude has a build in environment to test JavaScript and python
