Ya its part of the problem is that Valve's question there is ... not good.

It feels like this should be a series of questions about how Gen AI is/was used and then an area to explain it.

I suspect a lot of code usage just isn't disclosed at this point. Its a lot harder for it to be found and people may just choose not to say anything.

All part of aiding and abetting art theft, writing theft, coding theft, ecological destruction, mass economic harm, and mass societal damage.

I am going to be working on an more indepth report based on the information and looking at the disclosures about what developers are saying they used Generative AI for.

The main caveat to the data here is that this is only games that have disclosed they used Generative AI. Plenty of games may be using them without disclosing for things like localizing, code, concept art, or other things you may not see.

I tried over 60 demos in the past few weeks and seen a lot of great and promising games - and even here covering over 20 of them I could add another 5 without much thought and situational recommendations for more.

Doing it on my own blog meant I wasn't restricted to 10, so I was able to include more as honorable mentions essentially at the end with a brief description (often just a cleaned up version of my note on it).

Hey sorry, I've already made my picks and am working on the article now.

Good luck with the Next Fest, and if I have time I might give your game a shot.

Hey Mifa,

I'm not reviewing or covering games that make use of generative AI, as my editorial focus is on human artistry and craftsmanship.

Best of luck with your demo !

I did - It just missed my write up sadly. I can't remember why It missed it though.

Cool! I've downloaded it and it's on my list to try!

If you're curious and want to find some interesting games (or just see what the articles look like)

June Next Fest: techraptor.net/gaming/featu...

February techraptor.net/gaming/featu...

October techraptor.net/gaming/opini...

Reaching out before hand gives me time to give your demo a shot without quite as much competition all over the place like there is during the event proper. Each Next Fest gets more and more games to sort through.

Other people use em-dashes and they are sometimes converted from normal dashes by word processors.

Remember LLMs only essentially regurgitate what they've devoured, so the prevalence of emdashes there tells you a lot of people were using them even if you didn't see it.
