To play devil's advocate here, it seems like I keep hearing people saying to avoid games/etc over AI content, and the actual AI content is really minor things that no one would have ever paid attention to.
I suspect as it continues to become more common, people will care less. But in the meantime admitting to even minor AI use for background assets/etc is enough to get you a bunch of negative reviews on Steam (judging from my discovery queue).
There was also how Arc Raiders got a terrible review from Eurogamer because of some disclosed AI voice lines.
There's no gradient for how much Ai goes into a game, so a little taint qualifies as diseased.
Right. If the A.I. content is inconsequential, why not replace it remove it?
Time and money are the only answers
Good. Fuck "AI". They should have to disclose exactly what it was used for and that should be displayed right at the top of the games store page, along with any extra transactions in the game, extra accounts or launchers needed.
