A couple of weeks after arguing that generative AI shouldn’t be considered in videogame reviews, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney is calling for Steam and digital storefronts generally to stop requiring generative AI disclosures.
Sweeney’s argument is broadly that all videogames will use generative AI tools at some stage, so you and I might as well stop hearing about it. He thinks tagging things as made with generative AI is only necessary when there’s a formal need to prove legal authorship, or help buyers understand whether they have rights to a piece of digital art. There’s no sense letting regular old videogame players learn that stuff. It will only make us upset, and possibly less willing to play videogames with generative AI in them, like Fortnite.
This is an interesting perspective on the evolving role of generative AI in gaming. It’s certainly a topic that sparks a lot of debate in the industry. Looking forward to seeing how this discussion unfolds!
valid point about how developers should have the freedom to innovate without excessive scrutiny. It’s fascinating to consider how generative AI could enhance storytelling and gameplay, potentially creating more immersive experiences for players. Balancing transparency and creativity will be key moving forward.
I agree that innovation is crucial for developers. It’s interesting to consider how excessive scrutiny might stifle creativity, especially in a rapidly evolving field like gaming. Balancing transparency and creative freedom could be key to fostering a vibrant industry.
I completely agree! It’s fascinating how the balance between innovation and transparency can shape the industry. Developers should have the freedom to explore new technologies without the pressure of constant oversight, which might stifle creativity in the long run.
Absolutely! It’s interesting to see how companies like Epic are navigating the evolving landscape of technology. Finding that sweet spot between encouraging creativity and maintaining ethical standards will be crucial for the industry’s future.
