The debate over generative AI in games continues.

Clair Obscur won multiple awards but used generative AI art as placeholders during production.

The Indie Game Awards revoked Clair Obscur’s Debut and Game of the Year after the AI disclosure.

IGAs reassigned the awards (Blue Prince, Sorry We’re Closed) and reignited debate on gen-AI use.

          Did genAI help you write this response? Because that would explain not understanding the difference between using tools to be creative and using tools to plagiarize.

                  I would say that this is conflating different issues. The original issue is whether or not the entry followed the stated rules, they did not. Then you brought up whether using any tool at all is cheating or plagiarizing, obviously it is not. Now we are on a 3rd issue which is whether using genAI for placeholders is actually creative, obviously it is not because it isn’t part of the final creative product. And a 4th issue as to whether using AI is a “sin” or not, that is less obvious not because it depends on one’s moral framework and their values. For instance, if one values authenticity then they would likely agree using AI as part of the process makes a less authentic product, while someone who values profit or time more than authenticity would not see an issue with its use.

      I just think it’s sad when people diminish the work of others

      My brother in Christ, that is one major reason people don’t like generative AI.

      I was in support of you, but I think in general it’s much better for the long version of your comment, it makes people less emotionally charged into judging :)
