Epic CEO says AI disclosures like Steam's make "no sense" because AI will be involved in "nearly all" future game development

AI disclosure tags are currently a requirement for storefronts like Steam, but Epic Games' Tim Sweeney says they'll soon be made redundant.

Even if that did happen, it wouldn’t defeat the point of the disclosures at all. In fact, people will appreciate it all the more if a game is made without any AI involvement and it will become a selling point.

Plus, shouldn’t he want that information to be front and center anyway if he actually thinks it’s a good thing?

He, like the that Microsoft suit, has just enough awareness to realize how AI is being thought of by the general public, and knows it would affect his bottom line. Which is really all he cares about.

I think it would be helpful to know how AI is used.

Yeah, there’s a solid group of us that hates AI so much we’d do this.

I try to avoid it as best I can. When it comes to art, I won’t touch anything that’s AI.

I only play organic games.

Indeed, I only play games generated by artificial brains grown in vats.

It already is becoming a positive marketing point!

At a very near point though, it’s likely going to be impossible to do it without AI involvement, or at the very least without proving you didn’t somehow.

AI is being baked into almost every dev and art tool. They aren’t just talking about using ChatGPT, if your game uses a single texture or model that ever got touched by a machine learning algorithm, you’re using AI.

As long as AI doesn’t take away our hands, it’ll always be perfectly possible to draw our own art, compose our own music and write our own code. And especially in the open-source space, there’s plenty of creative software not jumping on the AI bandwagon.

It’s becoming nearly impossible to write code in a corporate environment without AI. Everyone has AI auto complete at the minimum, and AI code generation is at a point where it’s at least even with an entry level dev.

I’m sure that’s the case at some companies, but where I work, I can freely choose which tools I use for coding and whether or not to use AI, despite one of my bosses being obsessed with it.

This is true. My company heavily pushes employees to use AI to write software
