Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards (www.xda-developers.com)

Clair Obscur won multiple awards but used generative AI art as placeholders during production.

The Indie Game Awards revoked Clair Obscur’s Debut and Game of the Year after the AI disclosure.

IGAs reassigned the awards (Blue Prince, Sorry We’re Closed) and reignited debate on gen-AI use.

I dont understand the purity tests we are putting artists through

AI is just a tool. It can be used correctly to assist in making a gopd product, or a lazy artist can make slop (a lazy artist will produce crap regardless AI or not)

If its wrong to use AI to make filler material, then is speedtree wrong for allowing environmental artists to take a shortcut and not have to hand craft every tree in their game world?

like, minus all the plagarism and energy use issues. If wre are speaking strictly of artistic integrity or whatever, i dont see the problem in using AI to assist artists (as opposed to outright replacing them)

Pretty sure that's the primary thing everyone takes issue with. If you removed that most people wouldn't have as big of a problem with it. There is still a social issue at play in terms of the potential damage generative AI can do to the job market with no real safety nets or long term consideration for the consequences to society and the economy, but most people aren't even getting that far.

Yeah I think if you removed like...

  • The theft and plagiarism
  • The privacy infringements
  • The government bribes
  • The massive energy costs that are leaving people at a risk for blackouts
  • The environmental destruction in the areas the datacentres operate
  • The complete disregard for the health of the people living around the datacentres
  • The constant lying in an attempt to pump up stocks and grab as much money as possible before nuking the economy
  • The creepy-ass plans to institute an authoritarian techno-dystopia
  • Whatever else I've missed on the list

I'd be a lot more positive about it.

The thing is, this is all more or less intrinsically baked together into a fetid seeping mess. Just how you can't remove the milk from coffee once you've put it in, you can't remove this from the AI we have today. You'll have to discard the cup and do it over.

Seems silly to require ALL the unit tests pass, too, cut them some slack. /s
