Apparently #steam now has a section for #games to show whether or not they are using #ai

Apparently #steam now has a section for #games to show whether or not they are using #ai and in what capacity. This is taken from the section of Sins of a Solar Empire II

Interesting stuff.

Will this affect your choices for what you buy?

Yes, it will give me the ick when I see those tags.

Doesn’t help me on Lemmy/Beehaw

It’s not very readable

If I were looking at a mastodon instance I may expect and accept. But here on Beehaw it’s pure noise. Not a good interfacing like this.

That’s a lemmy issue

that’s federation for you

They are gonna have to really specifically define what AI is.

Is it a LLM? manually coded agent? Some other machine learning?

@CameronDev for sure, this is extremely vague. I am just completely surprised they added it in the first place and at all.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. If you are feeding your own works into a model or something then I’m not going to go all pitchforks about it but using a voice model instead of a voiceactor is automatically out. AI generated artwork is also out. I just flat am not interested.

But something homemade for a particular purpose I can consider.

Yup, AI is conceptually very broad. You could argue pong has an AI, the other paddle acts on its own and makes decisions similarly to a human? Cows in Minecraft? CS bots?

You could also argue that Minecraft world generation isn’t too dissimilar from how image generators work. Both take a set of rules and then use math to generate an output.

I think I can accept generative AI (voice models/artwork) depending on the game. If a 1 person indie dev uses it, because they have no other options, fine. AAA game just trying to save a buck, nah.

It absolutely will determine what I buy. Given the amount of shovelware before AI, I don’t want to further encourage lazy/predatory development practices.

@Telorand Very good point, yeah.

You think the shovelware will properly self-declare? If only :)

Certainly not, but it’s usually not hard to identify either.
