So, based on how you describe it, you’re trying to avoid having to make a required disclosure by generating code that makes the visuals rather than generating the visuals directly? To put it in the way I see it: you’re willfully trying to find and abuse a loophole in the disclosure policy because you know having that disclosure makes your game less desirable to a potential audience?
This is why there’s very little trust for anyone who uses genAI. Rather than recognize that its use is creatively bankrupt, ethically questionable, and disrespectful towards the art form it’s emulating, they’ll use any little loophole or technicality to justify deceiving their audience.
Respectfully, I get that you have a worthwhile story to tell and are putting a lot of work into the writing, but either make the game with the help of genAI and make the disclosure, or tell the story in a medium using the skills you have without resorting to genAI. Trying to weasel your way out of making the disclosure is, in my opinion, more disrespectful than the low quality spam.
As much as I agree that there is a difference, it still feels like trying to skirt around the disclosure. Clever way to avoid looking generated at least, I’ll give you that. Agree to disagree on this.
I’m very staunchly against using genAI for anything in the games I play, so if I find out a game uses it in any way my opinion of it and its maker quickly shifts negative. If I played a game that doesn’t disclose any genAI use and later find out genAI was used, I will go out of my way to avoid any further games made by the same people and leave a negative review citing the genAI use as the primary reason.
In my actual opinion, creatives using genAI to do work in the mediums they don’t work in is a betrayal of, and voluntary isolation from, people who should be your peers. I would definitely choose to stop associating with someone I know if they tried to utilize genAI as a part of something creative.
Not everyone has that negative an opinion, or even cares if all the code is generated given they’ll never see or know. It’s a hard-line stance coming from a need I feel to oppose genAI regardless of what it’s generating. Generated code is not something that’s particularly enforceable when it comes to disclosure, anyway.
If you’re following the rules as written then I guess you’re welcome to not disclose genAI use and all I can do is cope.
