    This guy has got to be the worst Tim ever.

    cant believe the guy who is placing a big emphasis on the AI integration features in Unreal Engine 6 would be upset about devs needing to disclose if they used AI or not

    There would be absolutely zero pushback if Steam mandated a disclosure of what game engine the game used or what modelling program the models were made with.

    But suddenly it's a huge deal when they have to disclose if they've used a fraud-funded plagiarism machine. Hmm, wonder why.

    I'd probably push back on requiring model disclosure. Tons of games use purchased assets, and a full accounting of all the relevant software in that chain seems challenging. Additionally, any user-generated content is going to be very difficult to audit for similar reasons.

    Meanwhile, it seems like this would make for a relatively easy way for spiteful individuals to attack developers for "failure to accurately disclose" sorts of things.

    It's the Streisand effect. Microsoft felt it too: "Don't call it slop" the web now calls it "Microslop". Tim doesn't want the disclosure to be seen, so what does the web do? Off course they develop a plugin to make the disclosure even bigger. This is how things are done in real world. Tim is a baby and does not know how reality works. :-)

    First half of the headline implies legitimate criticism. But considering Sweeney's history, I think it would be easy to expect it to be an agenda of attacking Valve however he can.

    It’s OK. He’ll stop once he drowns in his own tears.
