Another Post on Reddit shares an in-game poster depicting a yeti with nine toes.
“I only need AI for routine tasks that slow down development, not for creative elements,” said one unhappy player. “Naturally, corporations want AI for everything so they don’t have to hire labor.”

“It doesn’t matter that not everyone will see or use it, but it doesn’t change the fact that generative AI is terrible for the environment, steals from artists, and generally looks bad.” postulated someone else. “It's just lazy, especially since the title for the poster is completely optional.”
“Unless people take a collective stance against AI, then don't be surprised when future skins, music, and other things turn out to be significantly crappier because they were created by AI,” OP. added.
Say no to AI scum. A billion dollar company should have no problem supporting real artists for real art.

The revelations come just days after Epic chief executive Tim Sweeney proposed requiring developers to disclose whether generative artificial intelligence was used in the creation of a game.”doesn't make sense“.
Sweeney made this remark in response to a social media post by a former Unreal Engine developer who uses generative artificial intelligence in its motion capture work and suggested: “Steam and all digital marketplaces need to ditch the 'Made with AI' label.” It doesn't matter anymore.”
“Agreed,” Sweeney agreed. “The AI tag is relevant for art exhibitions to reveal attribution, as well as for digital content licensing markets where buyers need to understand the rights situation. It doesn't make sense for game stores, where AI will be involved in almost all future production.”
