Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage

  You are all over this thread repeating variations of the same comment which, despite wildly different responses from voters, mostly show you do not at all understand how image model training and generation work.

  This sort of absolutism is dead. Do you think they should be disqualified if they Google something and the answer is in Google’s AI summary?

  • No? Great, now we understand your line is subjective and you get to decide what is or isn’t acceptable use of AI.
  • Yes? Cool. Describe how the you police this and how do you choose between fhe three games made next year that will qualify, of which 2 are furry Visual Novels made entirely of RPG maker assets and 1 is the fifty-seventh Pokemon entry.

    Yawn. I dont think AI should be used at all and obviously an unintentional use of it appearing in a search result isnt the same as giving money to an AI company to generate textures derived from stolen artwork.

    They could have just bought some textures from the large supply there is out there.

      Nice religion.

      It’s a tool. You’re attaching far too much moral virtue to something that in another breath you will describe as an autocomplete tool.

  If it’s trained on licensed material, would that be acceptable?

    That part is, the next part is who is it going to replace? Which artist isnt going to be hired because they just made something with AI instead? Thats some pure creativity just lost from the world.

  I do agree with you. But unfortunately making games is as much a business, as it is making art. Some things just aren’t that important to spend man hours on. Before AI, those textures would be just stock assets from stock art websites, hence the example.

  Cat’s out of the bag right now. And it will only get worse, unless generative AI use is made outright illegal. Which I doubt due to moneyed interests.
