Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage

  If you do that and proceed to say “No we didn’t use any AI tools”. Then yes, that should be a disqualification.

  “When it was submitted for consideration, representatives of Sandfall Interactive agreed that no gen AI was used in the development of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.”

    It’s highly likely that EVERY video game dev team has at least one person who is using cursor, whether it violates their AI policy or not. It’s massively popular, looks just like VSCode, and can be hard to detect.

    That’s fair.

    But the Game Awards should reconsider that label next year. The connotation is clearly “AI Slop,” and that just doesn’t fit for stuff like cursor code completion, or the few textures E33 used.

    Otherwise studios are just going to lie. If they don’t, GA will be devoid of bigger projects.

    …I don’t know what the threshold for an “AI Slop” game should be through. It’s clearly not E33. But you don’t want a slimey, heavily marketed game worming its way in, either.

      You have to draw the line somewhere, saying any game cant use AI is much simpler than an arbitrary definition of what slop is. Also means we reward real artistry everytime.

        Then you’re going to get no games.

        Or just get devs lying about using cursor or whatever when they code.

        By this logic you could also ban Photoshop, tablets and any other software or hardware tool that has improved accessibility and workflow over the years.

        AI is a tool, flat out banning it won’t and can’t work. It’s too fucking useful.

        People said that anyone who used Photoshop wasn’t a real artist, people said computer graphics weren’t real art.

        At some point you DO have to draw an arbitrary line. Because that’s all. Art is arbitrary all of it since the dawn of mankind making art. It’s all arbitrary. If you only make hard lines that completely block tools, all you’re doing is harming artists.

        The entire point of drawing arbitrary lines is to allow for artists to keep making art. Why dissuading people from abusing others.

        So do you want no one to be able to do anything or do you want things to actually have artistic expression which is arbitrary.

        Awards like these are inherently subjective. You don’t have to draw an objective line anywhere.

  Yeah.

  A lot of devs may do it personally, even if it’s not a company imperative (which it shouldn’t be).
