I look at it the same way I look at game engines. It's a tool, which if used in the production of the game should be disclosed and let people decide if they want to buy that product or not.

I'd much rather buy a game made with Godot than Unity. So yeah, list the ingredients

Or UE5, since it's an unoptimized mess

Yes, we should celebrate transparency. Even if every game includes Ai in development in some shape or form, its good to know what exactly was done. In some cases its even a little less harmless or even acceptable (like generating meaningless terrain) than in other cases.

Nobody who wants to hide information from you has your best interests at heart. Sweeney is a creep.

Stop it, Valve! I can only get so erect!

Good shit, I hope we keep seeing headlines like this nonstop, because you know for sure those AI assholes have bots spamming inboxes with the opposite message.

Tim sure is an odd dog. I just don't get where this unearned confidence to shit talk comes from.

Money. Money is where it comes from.
