"Company accused of putting sawdust in their baked goods furious at ingredient labelling standards; more at 11."

His argument makes no sense. What he is saying is that game devs will fall behind competition if they have to disclose AI use.. Which correctly implies that customers will not buy products in the AI category.. Which means clients don't want AI snuck into games. This means he would rather sell you games with AI against your consent than be transparent.

The problem he proposes only exists in his universe where AI is not disclosed versus on steam where those companies that use AI are now actually falling behind those that don't.

So irresponsible to give their users information. Then they can make… informed decisions!!!! 😱

This is why Steam has a "monopoly" by technicality. Steam doesn't do anything to the competition, the competition just keeps making an objectively worse platform so bad that they end up killing themselves. Steam shouldn't have to be accountable for that, its not Gabe's fault the other CEOs are stupid.

If you truly think AI is so great, why don't you want to disclose it?

Worse, Steam even makes games disclose if they’re…gulp “Single-Player”.

What self-respecting gamer would play games designed for a single player? That just marks someone as antisocial. Or poor. It’s really mean to studios to have to disclose info like that about the content of their game.

I hear him, and will now assume anything they put out is ai generated. Don't even need the disclosure when they give themselves away by complaining so much.

I can’t tell if this guy just constantly has bad takes and a shitty world view or if he knows saying controversial shit is what gets headlines. Maybe it’s both.

Epic ceo is master class in how not to attract paying consumer base.

Steam really ought to learn their lessons, Tim is only trying to help. They're still crippled from their decision not to allow blockchain games while Epic used the opportunity to eat their lunch /s

If they don't want to be labeled, then don't use it?

Same applies for other stuff like Denuvo.

He sounds like a big complainer.

This dude can go eat a dick. We don't want your AI slop.

Guess who's using AI and ashamed of it?

Their initials are E.G.

It's extraordinarily irresponsible of dear Mr Sweeney to get out of bed every morning, and yet he sadly so often does.

Tim Sweeny is the biggest loser out there next to elon musk.

Epic, like Bungie is an ugly shadow of its former glory. They’ll both be gone soon enough.

AHAHAHA!!!!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

....lol

The problem is how to define "use AI"

And as there is no sure way to detect if something is AI made or not well. Only bad quality will eventually be a clue. But humans can make bad stuff too. Guess will have to pay more attention to quality.

Sure miss sweeney. Don't worry your pretty little head, you're not even competition for GOG, so keep throwing shit around, you're just smearing yourself.

oh yeah, and keep the free games coming. It's the only thing anyone ever "buys" on your sad little platform.
