[Meta Discussion] How would people feel about requiring posters to tag games made with AI? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I see a lot of free games on here that are made with AI, and personally i'm not interested in AI generated content. If other people feel the same way, maybe we could start tagging posts accordingly?

Given how many people seem to care, perhaps it isn't as irrelevant as you think it is.

    What they're saying is, is that so many, if not all games and software will have been developed using AI in some capacity, that it'll make the tag pointless.

    Well, then an AI-free tag for developers who proudly avoid it. I'm sure people will continue to care.

    I posted this elsewhere but you should read it too:

    Having a model run a code review isn’t lofty goal, it’s available right now and it’s very good. Anyone who’s done this will agree that it’s a tool to improve the quality of the code.

    The only reason not to do it is ideological, and it’s not a hill worth dying on. We already use linters and so on.

    Ideological hills are the only hills worth dying on. Otherwise you're dying over a random patch of earth.

    What a silly thing to say. Ideologies are never worth worrying about because they are by definition unsupported by reason.

    It seems you've chosen your ideology poorly, then. My ideology attempts to be supported by reason as often as is possible. Of course, there are things reason alone can't tell you (see: the is-ought gap), but of course one ought to follow the evidence wherever it leads, even if that evidence makes you uncomfortable.

    I don't do arguments in semantics, but I will note that your definition of "ideology" seems very unusual.

    In my view, there's significant evidence that AI tools are very proficient at supporting developers, and that very clearly makes you uncomfortable.

    Did your "significant evidence" ignore the massive water use, land use, copyright infringement, and other ethical concerns?

    It's not like i'm one of those people from Dune or whatever. I'm not against all machine learning - just these specific tools made by these companies and these specific massive environmental problems. (Among other big issues)

    Yes I did ignore those issues.

    Game devs certainly will.

    Being a developer without using AI is becoming untenable. That's the reality that any developer will tell you. Theres posts here to that effect from career developers bemoaning the changes to the industry every day.

    What do you think ideology means?

    I mean sure I guess

    of beliefs or principles, especially one on which a political system, party, or organization is based:

    "socialist/capitalist ideology"

    "The people are caught between two opposing ideologies."

    https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/ideology

    There is colloquial use of the term to refer specifically to beliefs/principles held in contrast to what evidence supports, but I don't think you can make an argument for this overriding the general meaning of the term, especially when it comes to (hopefully) educated discussion.
