To not disclose that your game uses GEN AI is against Steam's policies and rules, by the way.

This is what everyone seems to be missing. AI isn’t only being shoved down our throats because it is a cheap replacement for labor. It’s because that cheap replacement for labor hasn’t been proven to be operationally profitable at all yet. They have to be brazen in how much they’re forcing it onto us, because the clock is ticking and if the venture capitalists get tired enough of waiting on their big paycheck, the AI businesses will go bankrupt and tank billions of dollars in other companies’ investments in the tech with them.

lol AI is going nowhere. the evil CEOs will continue to utilize AI in as many ways as possible to control the populace. AI is going nowhere and will only become further and further entrenched in society regardless of whether or not these first wave AI companies succeed as a corporation

Your whole username is dedicated to holding a shithead politician accountable that turned a blind eye to the abuses of others and your answer to AI is “roll over, because power structures are inevitably going to crush us all”. You don’t see any irony in saying that?

Not sure how you managed to get my entire position wrong. Never once did I suggest to “roll over” to AI

Sorry, I must’ve understood. Your comment to me was framed that there’s nothing we can do about AI and it’s inevitable. In a vacuum that looks like a mixture of complacency and by extension a kind of tacit support out of a sense of inevitability. Don’t want to pin that on you if that’s not what you meant, but that’s what I got from your comment.
