Yeah, I did finish the game, I even kinda vibed with it, but can we talk about Ethics for a moment? [h1] A perfect example of Steam's flawed AI disclosure system [/h1] I understand the appeals of AI, I can see that it can provide value, no matter if it's use is ethical or not. Valve understands this as well, or at least I hope so... I read the store page. the game looked interesting. I see the Dev name and feel a bit of unease. I go OUT OF MY WAY to check the bottom of the page (Worst place to put something btw but that's a different issue) [code] The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: AI image generation tools were used to create store page artwork (capsule images, banners). AI was also used to assist with localization for 12 supported languages. All AI-generated content was reviewed and edited by the developer. No AI was used for in-game visual assets, sound effects, or music. [/code] I saw this. I thought it over. Language translation for an indie dev? I decided that was an acceptable use of AI. Translation apps are all switching to Ai, such a thing is almost impossible to miss now right? When I came over to the community to read some posts, I find the dev posted this: [code] Yes, it's vib coding. I'm still not good at coding, so I'm getting a lot of help from ai. I know that ai actually gives negative reviews to users, but ai is still essential for me because of my lack of skills. But if I used ai, I will make a game where I can reveal all the parts I used and enjoy them. Thank you [/code] Look, lying just for the sake of money/reviews is pretty... I don't want to call it gross, but it feels wrong. If you cannot admit on your store page the full extent of your usage of AI then you should not have a store page. Do I think steam should punish Developers for lying? Maybe. Especially when it is written so clearly and admitted so openly. I will not reward such blatant lying with a positive review over such an ethically questionable issue. The consequences of using AI is that some people might choose to not play your game, or think poorly of it. you cannot please everyone. If you have the privilege to use AI as a tool to help you bring the things in your head to life, then at least have the balls to own it.
