  1. Epic Games' CEO, Tim Sweeney, has been a loud proponent of the use of generative "AI" in creating games, rather than having to hire as many artists and other creative people. He says using AI is natural, it's the way to go, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it, and that people who object are just luddites.

    And he complains bitterly about Valve's Steam Store requiring disclosure of the use of "AI" in games sold on that platform.

    So, Tim, which is it? "AI" is good and natural and you're proud of it, or you're mad you have to tell customers you used it in creating the game you're trying to sell them?

    Those two positions are mutually incompatible. Hypocrite.
