Surely ai users know how frequently the technology is used in bad faith and for nefarious purposes
I think having a problem with the backlash is not a valid reason to avoid disclosing ai use.
They should be mature and self aware and have a problem with the people and developers obviously misusing the technology so much instead
I don't think using AI to help make a videogame is in any way nefarious or misuse, especially for smaller developers who wouldn't have the resources to make the game they had in mind otherwise. They don't deserve to get review bombed or have nasty messages left on all their social media by organized discord groups just because of that, and it's understandable they'd be worried about it.
Indie gamedev existed for years before AI. You can just sit down and make a game. And if you don't care enough to actually work on it, why would people even spend their money on "your" product?
Games used to be programmed in low level code, if you don't care enough to hand code your game and instead rely on machines to "compile" it for you, why even spend money on "your" product that's all high level machine generated code?
There's a difference between coding your game in high level code + making all the other stuff like assets, levels and music and asking thiefgpt to ~~generate~~ plagiarize assets and music for you.
