Of course, that's why we need better guidelines. It's like beauty ads that have to declare they used Photoshop. Every photo is edited if you don't make it clear what you mean
Why should something not be disclosed just because its common?
It builds indifference to the disclaimer when it's too general. The California cancer label is a good example.
But its not too general. Steam allows you to give a description of the use of AI
The problem is you end up with the tag nonetheless.
The description doesn't apply to the label, no matter how much explanation you provide you're still going to devalue your game with the AI label so why would any developer admit to that?
The whole thing is just mind numbingly stupid.
Whoever thought this up needs to get out more and actually experience the human condition.
I didn't say that. It should be more specific to have any meaning to the consumer.
But it has meaning to some consumers. Not everyone can tell that an image has been majorly edited or created using a program created to replicate pictures
You mean the idea that if wasn't created completely by people? It matters to you that some unpaid intern wasn't forced to work overtime writing the most boring bullshit scaffolding code?
That kind of behavior should be disclosed too
How do you people think games are made? The entire field is notorious for its working conditions
If its common, it doesnt mean that every game is made like that and because something is notorious, it doesnt mean everyone knows about it
Because it becomes meaningless noise instead of useful information.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alarm_fatigue
Even if it is ignored by a lot of people, its better than not knowing at all
I'm not saying there shouldn't be a disclosure, but an uncertain threshold that might be as low as "a developer accepted a copilot completion suggestion one time" isn't useful. You just end up with a prop65 situation where it's slapped on everything and basically meaningless.
Steam allows you to describe the use of AI
Also, if you know you are making a game for steam, why not just ignore the copilot suggestion? I dont think it will increase the time to make a game by that much time
Okay great so I'll use AI to develop every aspect of my game and then just not declare it. After all, there's no enforcement so why wouldn't I do that?
The problem is the tag has literally no reason to exist, no one would admit to using AI even if they did so what the bloody hell was the point?
It's like you didn't even bother to read the Wikipedia article because it explains exactly why this sort of thing doesn't work
Wouldnt the thing described in the wikipedia article not apply because of the description steam allows you to give and because 20% is not that high of a percentage?
Wouldnt the article linked on the post contradict your argument that there is no reason to add a way to disclose AI use because nobody is going to do that? There are a lot of games that admit to the use of AI
Because I don't think anybody actually cares that much if you use small pieces of AI code. What people don't want is everything being AI produced.
Right now though the AI tag is been applied to both scenarios with no distinction.
But there is a difference
Steam allows you to describe how you used AI
Does it as far as I can tell if you have the tag you have the tag. There's no description next to it that says this guy used AI but only for irrelevant background stuff
Yeah, I suspect the AI tag should apply to even more games then.
Hence the problem
