LocalThunk, Entwickler des beliebten Roguelike Poker-Spiels Balatro , intervenierte in einem Streit über das Subreddit des Spiels in Bezug auf die Kunst von AI-Erzeugen. A former moderator, DrTankHead (also moderating a NSFW Balatro subreddit), had previously stated that AI art would be permitted on both subreddits, provided it was properly labeled. Diese Aussage widersprach jedoch der Haltung von LocalThunk und Publisher Playstack.
LocalThunk hat das Problem auf Bluesky schnell angesprochen und klargestellt, dass weder sie noch PlayStack die Verwendung von AI-generierten Bildern unterstützten. A subsequent statement on the main Balatro subreddit confirmed DrTankHead's removal from the moderation team and announced a ban on AI-generated images. Der Entwickler betonte ihre Opposition gegen KI -Kunst aufgrund seines potenziellen Schadens für Künstler. Playstack's communications director acknowledged a lack of clarity in the subreddit's rules, noting that the existing rule against unlabeled AI content could have been misinterpreted. Die verbleibenden Moderatoren arbeiten daran, die Regeln des Subreddit zu klären.
DrTankHead, in a post on the NSFW Balatro subreddit, confirmed their removal and stated that while they wouldn't make the subreddit AI-centric, they were considering a weekly allowance for non-NSFW AI-generated art. Dieser Vorschlag wurde mit dem Vorschlag eines Benutzers eingehalten, eine Pause von Reddit einzulegen.
Die Kontroverse unterstreicht die laufende Debatte über die KI -Kunst in der Spielebranche. Recent events, such as Keywords Studios' failed experiment using entirely AI-generated game content and conflicting statements from major publishers like EA and Capcom regarding AI integration, underscore the complex ethical and practical considerations surrounding this technology. Activision's recent admission of using generative AI for some Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 assets, despite a negative reaction to an AI-generated loading screen, further illustrates the industry's grappling with AI's role in game development.
