Filtering out big studios is the only filter I want or need. I personally dont care if an indie studio uses AI in their game if the story is good.

Is it just a search filter or is there some kind of banner or notice on the game's store page? I've been playing The Finals a lot and I often see things saying they used GenAI for things in it but I can't tell what was made with AI or not. Maybe the announcer voices? The way they say "the magic number" is a bit wonky.

It's a section at the bottom of the steam store page:

Ah, just had to scroll lower. I only looked for the yellow banners and the sidebar.

Does that include AI generated code?

Code is also part of Steam's required AI disclosure form , so I think it should be filtered as well

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

It should be separated.

AI generated code is usually boilerplate and tools like copilot, cursor, etc are huge productivity uplifts.

Like them or not, they are here to stay. A lot of code written by developers isn’t unique or novel.

AI generated code is useful.

I strongly dislike AI slop and I hate ai being shoved everywhere, but I’m also a realist. I use AI code everyday in my job because my job doesn’t pay me to have principaled stands, they pay me to deliver features.

Depending on how that's implemented, that's quite stupid, I use copilot a lot at work, it's really good at guessing what you want to put on the line once you start typing it, does that count as AI generated?

What if I want a simple sort function but don't want to google for the 50th time when I am supposed to return -1 and when 1.

Copilot is a great productivity tool not much else, what's next, let's disclose if you used and IDE instead of just the built in windows Notepad?

don't worry, Windows has already added AI to Notepad

I think the point is that game development is a tough career and hard to get into. By using AI tools and making your work more efficient, you are reducing the demand for developers and therefore impacting people's careers.

I personally don't buy into it. I think AI is just a tool and it can be used well to streamline the process of making a game or it can help to pump out shovelware. I think filtering out games that use AI generated content is not the right solution but also think that people being informed and able to make their own choices is a positive thing in general.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

AI generated content sure, AI generated code is a different thing, which is my point

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You mean because it's not player facing?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

No, because of what I said in my comment. copilot is just a productivity tool, nothing else, putting a disclaimer on it is akin to putting disclaimer of working with an IDE in my opinion
