Summary
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney argues that Steam and other game stores should eliminate 'Made with AI' tags, stating that such labels will soon become irrelevant as generative AI becomes ubiquitous in game development. Sweeney believes these tags are appropriate for art exhibits and digital content licensing marketplaces where authorship disclosure and rights clarification are important, but they don't make sense for game stores where AI will be involved in nearly all future production.
