Being a 500 person studio with a 400 million dollar publisher means you still qualify for the Indie™ Game Awards but using ChatGPT to make a random powerpoint is just a bridge too far.
Apparently Blue Archive, the game that was given the award after they disqualified E33, ALSO used AI.

- Comment on Windows 11 to add an AI agent that runs in background with access to personal folders, warns of security risk 1 month ago:
Looks like Microsoft learn from the Recall controversy. By making the AI stuff opt-in. Sometimes you need to take the small wins from corporations. Because what’s all you going to get from them.
much like how they eventually snuck in their built-in spyware to screenshot your desktop behind the scenes.
Here’s the minimum system requirements for Recall. Like you can see you need a NPU, BitLocker and Windows Hello enabled. So has long you don’t meet the requirements. You have nothing to afraid of.
