Nah, its just a bit grindy. The problem was people took SpeedTree, a tree generating program that's been in use since the early 00's as "Generative AI" which its not.

Might let my Tamagotchi have a go at that speedtree; it usually just eats the leaves.

If you want to make games, learn one of the many skills necessary to turn an idea into a real product, I would say.
Now, there are definitely ways in which automated tools have always helped with that (SpeedTree!) and AI fits into that picture, but if all that is left is the idea guys, we're boned.

Particular thing about the AI disclosure discourse is in spite of the common wisdom I think more and more that any kind of tools used in game development should be credited as thoroughly as possible, it's already done with general unreal unity havok speedtree things but it should be everything

speedtree? no just pretty fast tree for me thanks

Whoa there, don't get pulled over for outpacing SpeedTree!

LRP: Now more than ever it is extremely important to do our research into how tools *actually* work. I've talked before about how Speedtree is being looped into AI tools despite being a *procedural* tool that has existed for YEARS before LLM AI bullshit flooded the Internet.

Two projects of mine got featured in the Autodesk Community Gallery: The Silent Path a PCG Forest, and Cyber Tooth Laser Saber

I think it's very premature. It will be different, but professional tooling for anything will ironically become more important since while you could vibecode anything. Attempting to deal with the complexity of bugs of havok or speedtree you'd rather have those problems "go away" by someone else.

Fwiw this extension just blurs the game's page and places the warning front-and-center, saving the user from immediately scrolling down to the section and getting right to it
It doesn't change the issue about devs using it for procedural stuff (reminded of the latest Hot Shots labeling Speedtree)

We even had a moment where folks were calling Speedtree "AI"

Started Control Resonant and it's funny that I haven't seen anyone [among those in the know] mention that it seems to harbor unused live-service elements.
You don't build a Nakama server for a game unless there are some online features coming.
Expeditions 2 maybe?

In the realm of my PCG learning Im slowly getting the hang of Geometry Nodes, SpeedTree feels natural at this point and I still remember a lot of my time with Houdini.

there's another game that famously got slandered for using generative AI to "generate trees and grass textures" in their release
like... y'all didn't use AI, you used Speedtree, an industry tool that's been around for over 20 years... you dont need to disclose that ;_;

All assets were either Megascans, Handmade Sculpts, Speedtree Folliage. Terrain was done completely by hand to give each area a specific feeling which I used my terrain PCG tools to give me some starting elevation to carve out. Zero AI was involved

The only good thing I can think of is maybe it’ll get people to stop freaking out when a game says enemies are driven by AI (programmed responses to player input) or that SpeedTree was used to place a realistic forest density on a map
there's like decades of fictional and common usage of "AI" as "thing the computer is doing when we pretend it is a person"
