Steam's AI disclosures are akin to "forcing developers to list their voting history", says man who must hate seeing eggs virtue signal that they're free-range

  Yeah that’s exactly the analogy to reach for.

  The shareholders really should take this idiots phone off him. He’s doing them no favours at all.

  No, it’s like forcing the chef to disclose that he’s defecating in the meal you’re being served.

    I was confused by your comment until I realised this wasn’t an Onion headline.

  So you think that supporting AI is political.

  So you think that if people know you support AI, they will hate you.

  Interesting…

  You know big tech is full of shit when they pretend to care about the people’s privacy

    It’s not even about privacy. Is basically complaining that they have to list the ingredients on the food packet, for most people this isn’t a problem, but since his business has a tendency to sprinkle thorium in everything, he’s acting a grieved.

  Look, I don’t mind the tag, because it helps woth categorization. If someone makes a good game woth ai assets, I’m not opposed to it. But O do know that it will be an easy “sea of mucus” filtrr to eliminate most of the low effort games that get published.

    As someone who has an ethical problem with how generative AI has been trained on the exploited labor of other people, I do feel like I have a right to know who is and isn't leveraging it.

      Sure you are, and that’s what the tag is for. I think it’s like problem is everyone has a slightly different definition of what “used AI” means.

      For example there are some indie games being developed now where the assets are human made but much of the code was AI written. Artists had an idea for a game but they didn’t know how to code so they got the AI to do that part. Historically the way this would have been dealt with would be that they would have simply developed the game in something simple, like game maker. AI just give them another option.

      Now the question becomes should that be labeled as AI? Yes AI was used, but no one’s lost their job because of it, so is it quite the same thing?

      I don’t think Valve makes the distinction, and that’s what a lot of people don’t like about the tag, it is ambiguous. Of course Tim here is just whining about the thing in general, and isn’t usefully contributing to the discussion at all, as per.

    I like the tag so I can tell the Steam app to automatically hide games with it. Cuts down on the slop.

  FYI, “free-range,” “cage free,” and “grass fed” don’t actually mean anything. They can still be horribly abused in overcrowded barns. Look for “certified humane,” the leaping bunny symbol, or other symbols protected by humane organizations.

    That’s a US thing, it’s just fine in the EU

    • depending on your jurisdiction (e.g. free range does mean something in Australia).

    I think free range is a protected term in some jurisdictions.
