Are algorithms the same as AI?

I mean that’s exactly how it’s always worked. What’s the difference just because the AI exists

Okay great so I’ll use AI to develop every aspect of my game and then just not declare it. After all, there’s no enforcement so why wouldn’t I do that?

The problem is the tag has literally no reason to exist, no one would admit to using AI even if they did so what the bloody hell was the point?

It’s like you didn’t even bother to read the Wikipedia article because it explains exactly why this sort of thing doesn’t work

Hence the problem

The problem is you end up with the tag nonetheless.

The description doesn’t apply to the label, no matter how much explanation you provide you’re still going to devalue your game with the AI label so why would any developer admit to that?

The whole thing is just mind numbingly stupid.

Whoever thought this up needs to get out more and actually experience the human condition.

That’s their fault. They decided on ambiguous definition of AI.

Does it as far as I can tell if you have the tag you have the tag. There’s no description next to it that says this guy used AI but only for irrelevant background stuff

He was a weird one. He once made me play golf with him, and acted all smug and superior that apparently he was better at it than I was.

I mean it’s golf, who cares?

What you’re supposed to do with this stuff is design it in grayscale first, conveying information through shading, and then just add colour afterwards while maintaining the shade.

I love that the colour blind compatible version to just incompetentible to everyone else.

See, absolutely no order to the periodic table. Utterly useless.

Yes the dark ages.

Would you rather be MegaHitler or give me this plane ticket for $3?

Corn isn’t kosher?

You see surely the fact that Donald Trump is able to move around and find food seems to suggest that AI could be conscious. Since the bar seems to be quite low.

Because I don’t think anybody actually cares that much if you use small pieces of AI code. What people don’t want is everything being AI produced.

Right now though the AI tag is been applied to both scenarios with no distinction.

Okay so there is this whole arguement going on about The Altars how apparently a tiny piece of background art has AI generated text in it. Personally I feel that’s absolutely fine, as otherwise it would have just been Lorem Ipsum, and really doesn’t need to be declared but technically, under the strictest interpretation of that tag, it should be declared even though you can’t even see it unless you zoom in.

I would very much like valved actually come up with a concrete policy rather than a vague one-line statement.

I do not understand what the hell the AI is supposed to even do. Like great okay so let’s say they get to the point that it’s trained and can do the job of a human then what. If you replace everyone with AI then no one will have any jobs and no one will have any money so who are the AI businesses going to sell products too?

Did PayPal actually make valve remove them or did PayPal just say they didn’t want to provide payment processors for them and valve couldn’t be bothered to come up with a solution?

I can’t see why Paypal would care one way or the other if the games were available on the platform as long as PayPal don’t have to process the payment.

And what about all the people who don’t live in Alabama trailer parks? Or they’re just so many of them that they provide an industry all on their own.
