AI this, AI that - you can't go anywhere without something trying to force AI on you. Usually a company trying to get you to buy into what they've wasted billions on. So indie devs have begun fighting back with their No Gen AI Seal.

    Man, some real pathetic, deflated bullshit in this comment section.

    This badge fucking rules. Let’s make it a huge problem for the first game that uses it dishonestly.

    I can dig it. For me it’s similar to seeing physical products described as “handcrafted” to denote quality versus something mass produced. A lot of indie devs pour enormous amounts of time and energy into animation, scripts, music, etc. that a derivative gen AI would just spit out in seconds.

      Yes that is a good comparison. Similarly, indirect use of handcrafted or no gen ai is impossible to trace / verify / do. You can’t handcraft each component for every tool you will be using. Similarly, you can’t write your own library / compiler for every software component.

      Such a label will indicate only on a high level, ‘that technology’ is not used. Which I think is fine.

      Handcrafted can still use any sort of (power)tool. The actual difference is that it is low volume instead of mass production, even if the same tools are used.

    I feel like this will work out about as well as “GMO-free” labels on food.

        Users will end up verifying it. Activision just got caught using gen-ai in call of duty and had to come clean.

        If developers are caught lying they will lose credibility.

      Does it include human handpicked sentences that where gend.

      Generate a dialogue script vs How could i rephrase this sentence to…

      There is so much in between possible i feel like this label is more marketing then meaningful.

      Of course i do know what they meant. They imply they did not cut corners with ai and put effort in delivering quality but i imagine there will be both low effort works using this label because they can and high effort works scrutinized after its found technically some gen ai was used.
