Clair Obscur won multiple awards but used generative AI art as placeholders during production.

The Indie Game Awards revoked Clair Obscur’s Debut and Game of the Year after the AI disclosure.

IGAs reassigned the awards (Blue Prince, Sorry We’re Closed) and reignited debate on gen-AI use.

The indie game awards rule is equivalent to my example.

No AI can be used anywhere in the production in any capacity ever.

It’s not just “the released game can’t contain AI generated content”

    I don't understand your argument at all. Your first comment seems to disagree with the ban, but this one explicitly agrees with it.

    Your example is weird because it doesn't exist. There is no restrictions on how chess players train, only how they compete. All you're doing is building a strawman, not an analogy.

    And to be clear, they didn't get banned for using AI. They got banned for lying about using AI. You can agree or disagree with the rule itself, but it's not debatable whether it was in place when they entered the contest or whether the studio lied about it.

    If we're following the chess analogy the developers are allowed to use AI to train their skill but not to aide in the actual competition.
