    Why should a single developer of a game not be allowed to offload making textures for a gravel road or some other brain-numbing task onto AI, and use the time saved to make the main features of the game better?

      Personally I agree. The problem is then you have to declare it and the way that steam currently handles that declaration is literally the worst possible implementation of the idea, - all games just get dumped into the same category of “uses AI”. I would actually prefer them to just take the tag away, then keep it in its current dysfunctional state.

      It’s just a tag that says that AI was used in some aspect of making the game, but there’s no breakdown of how the AI was used, did it author code or did it design background elements that no one will really see, because there’s a huge difference there, and the distinction is important.

      exactly. aside from the ethical concerns of using unknown source material.
