Hey video game corporate friends, lemme boil down something for you.
No one actually likes Gen AI. Your credibility and money is at risk if you proudly proclaim or sweep it's use under the rug.
Using Gen AI makes you look like a hack fraud, limp dick loser. And no one wants to be that.

Look man I don’t think the people being poisoned by data centers really care if you remove the generated assets before shipping, and I don’t really care if you “only” use the machine that stole my shit and convinced teens to off themselves for internal PowerPoints.
Cool motive. Still bullshit tho.

Sorry I think using AI for placeholders is also bad
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I know you only care about finished art but placeholder art also needs to be made by a human being who also needs to be paid for that
But placeholder midjourney slop cuts that artist out

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

I understand you were never likely to watch or engage with these anime dubs to begin with, but please be aware these things are doing the same thing - replacing the human element within art you love.

The new game "Where the Winds Meet" uses AI chat bots for NPCs. It's really uncomfortable.

Wuxia MMO Where Winds Meet is full of AI chatbot NPCs, and people are doing all the standard obscene stuff to them: 'I made him think that my character was pregnant with his child'
Can't we just go back to the Zork school of NPC dialog?

For people unaware and playing/streaming Where Winds Meet, it uses GenAI for NPC chat bots, and let's you import a photo of yourself and a voice clip for character creation, which I'm sure I don't need to explain why that is fucked up
And no AI disclosure on Steam 🙃

I say this with empathy toward every struggling actor who is just trying to make due:
Providing your voice for A.I. undermines everyone in the industry. It is a net negative, that will only make it harder for you and everyone else down the line.
It. Is. Wrong.

I don’t care about legality and neither do you. You want to play your game and enjoy it guilt free.
I want human beings to be able to work in the industry they trained half their lives for.
It’s a moral issue. It’s a human issue.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.
