"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney opposes Steam's "Made with AI" label for games, arguing AI involvement is inevitable in future development and such tags are unnecessary outside art and licensing contexts. He emphasizes that mandatory AI disclosures for games are impractical and not meaningful for consumers.

Sweeney, as always, is turning a nugget of truth into the most offensive thing possible.

Line-by-line autocomplete when coding is fine. It's helpful. That's what he's sort-of trying to say, no that it needed saying.

Selling vibe coded, SEO'd AI slop on storefronts is not fine. That is obviously what the Steam tag is for, and railing against that is so out-of-touch, it's... unreal.

He's the same with EGS. "A store with a 30% fee and a price-dictating monopoly is not ideal" is a simple message to agree with. Yet somehow he's turned that into radioactive sludge.

The somehow:

  • Creating EGS for the benefit of the seller, not the consumer
    • Lower fees are pocketed by the publisher
    • No public reviews
    • No forums or workshop equivalent
    • Refusing to add warning labels about things people care about (DRM, AI generation, etc.)
  • Failing to benefit small games
    • Poor on-platform discoverability for games
  • Using anti-consumer tactics to drive adoption
    • Paying third-party devs for permanent exclusivity
    • Paying third-party devs for timed exclusivity
    • Paying influencers to push narratives that "steam bad for you, Epic good"

To be fair, they can't price below Steam. That's the problem.

The rest of it is a tire fire, yeah. It doesn't have to be steam, but basic tagging + reviews would've gone a long way.
