Epic taking a "we'll accept first and consider the consequences later" isn't the right move, in my opinion. Sure, the points they make, that "not all AI content is infringing or bad" is true, but the vast majority of AI being used in games is cheap and quick art assets for shovelware titles. Steam already has a considerable amount of shitty titles, allowing stuff made with AI would only make it even worse.
I think the major pushback against AI in games is exactly that, they just scream "cheap money grab" from a zero-skill nobody
@ICastFist
I would argue that "zero-skill" games can have charm if they're still fun or creative. Perhaps I'm a bit biased though as a beginner gamedev who doesn't have much skill outside of programming though.
