A somewhat common but strange response to the consumer request for AI disclosures on products is to suggest that if you did this, you should have to disclose all sorts of other things (how many people worked on the product, what other software you used, what hardware it was made on, etc.)
I can understand that some people don't like the idea of having AI disclosures, so they immediately try to think of arguments against it. But respectfully, this one makes no sense.
Product labeling requirements are driven by demand, either from consumers or from competitors. There is no significant cross-section of the public asking to know if a game was made on machines with AMD or Intel hardware. There is no significant cross-section of the industry demanding that their competitors list whether or not they used Adobe Premier.
Product labeling is not about giving you a complete set of information about how a product was made. It's about giving the consumer information that a significant number of them might want to know before making a purchase. Which ones of these get codified can be driven by consumer demand, competitor demand, or - most commonly - a combination of the two.
This is not weird. It's good, actually.
And it's especially good if an industry takes proactive steps to voluntarily label their products accurately, because then they avoid the inevitable alternative, which is that the consumer demand for the missing labeling produces a political movement which ends with mandatory labeling designed by a political body.

Maybe we should delete the 99% of stuff that is just wasteful and friction-causing, the main purpose of which seems just to be to increase attack surface.

Nice! I find it just fun to work with.
I'm just starting to get used to the very basics of Godot & Blender and now I want to learn pixel art. I need to focus up, but gamedev is REALLY fun!

Do you mean a tag that mentions AI was used? Didn't you say this?
"Developers who are getting value from AI should speak up."
That was 5 days ago. You can't even stay consistent with what you preach. Do you understand why people don't respect you anymore?

I've ganked hundreds of these guild members only to be swarmed by hundreds more. This guild truly is massive.

There's too much AI slop to go through all of this.

Is your goal to have as many people as possible not respect you? I don't get this self-humiliation ritual.

Do you really not know your audience?
I lost count of the number of times I've been called a luddite by people who have no real technical skills.
Personally, I respect people who have taken years to hone their craft (and keep up with it) - regardless if they're an artist, game developer, web developer, etc.
And it's not because they know that skill, but because of who they had to become to push through the struggles of becoming good at it.
You can learn to create a good AI slop workflow in a weekend. It's not a skill.
You don't have to respect the lowest effort people in our society. I think once you accept that, the noise starts to become much less noticeable.
