Reminds me of the 70s when suddenly everything was "Eco-Friendly".

I remember an old song "I'll go green when they go green and they'll go green but not really green more like aquamarine" and it appears to no longer exist on the internet.
Another song I can't find is about a guy who tells the story of all his past lives and in each he was a whore and someday he'll be a whore again.
Really wish songs would stop disappearing.
Yours is the most captivating comment in this entire thread.
I have to admit neither one of those rings a bell.

Lmao. The “organic” labeling has made it to electronics.
Certified Artisanally Hand-Crafter Code
just as meaningless too!
They cannot possibly assure customers that remote devs aren't using copilots to help them code.
Indie studio teams are pretty small so its possible, I personally hate that the word copilot ever even appears and never ever autogen code, but moreso I'm sure the stamp refers to art, texture, and sound.

Not sure how to interpret this. The use of any tool can be for good or bad.
If the quality of the game is increased by the use of AI, I'm all for it. If it's used to generate a generic mess, it's probably not going to be interesting enough for me to notice it's existence.
If they mean that they don't use AI to generate art and voice over, I guess it can be good for a medium to large game. But if using AI means it gets made at all, that's better no?
I am for the most part angry that people are being put out of work by AI; I actually find AI-generated content interesting sometimes, for example AI Frank Sinatra singing W.A.P. is pretty funny. This label is helpful to me so that I know I'm supporting humans monetarily.
People want pieces of art made by actual humans. Not garbage from the confident statistics black box.
What if they use it as part of the art tho?
Like a horror game that uses an AI to just slightly tweak an image of the paintings in a haunted building continuously everytime you look past them to look just 1% creepier?
Would the feature in that horror game Zort where you sometimes use the player respon item and it respons an NPC that will use clips of what a specific dead player has said while playing count as AI use? If so, that's a pretty good use of AI in horror games in my opinion.
AI SLOP! SAD!

That's an interesting enough idea in theory, so here's my take on it, in case you want one.
Yes, it sounds magical, but:
- AI sucks at make it more X. It doesn't understand scary, so you'll get worse crops of the training data, not meaningful changes.
- It's prohibitively expensive and unfeasible for the majority of consumer hardware.
- Even if it gets a thousand times cheaper and better at its job, is GenAI really the best way to do this?
- Is it the only one? Are alternatives also built on exploitation? If they aren't, I think you should reconsider.
