'We support the work of those who are trying to limit the harm generative AI is doing to videogames and our world, and apologise that Big Walk’s LLM usage may not meet their standards'
Not all LLM trainers are so caustic to the world. A few use open datasets for the vast majority of their training, like Nvidia’s Nemotron series or a few Olmo derivates.
Many LLms are also trained on shoestring budgets, with a relatively negligible environmental impact.
But are also other huge ethical concerns, like entities behind them supporting censorship, fascism and such. The erosion of the world’s mental aptitude from how it’s presented. Security, labor, hacking and spamming, and so on.
…This is the thing with discussing “AI.”
It can be as nuanced as things get, but few care. Most seem to want things in simple absolutist terms, and they aren’t interested in any nuance, especially the gamers on either side of this debate.
There is also the legal thing to solve too, if the generated code or art can be licensed at all (assuming it does not violate any intellectual property that exists already). Because our laws grant copyright to humans only, not to animals or machines. Does the human get the copyright to anything it prompts to generate?
There are so many layers of issues. I agree with your reply entirely. I also thought about mentioning those few exceptions, but the reality is that most companies creating games use these paid proprietary online models, because they are probably the best.
That just exposes how flawed the copyright system is, TBH. Licensed code (and even art) was already shakey to me, even when human made.
It is true that most are using Claude or ChatGPT, sadly. But I think it’s because they are the “default” and popular rather than for any particular performance reason, as is the case across tech.
It’s actually similar to how most professionals use Photoshop and can’t get away from it. There is one thing about Ai models, its like a web search engine that you can theoretically switch anytime. Because theses are just web interfaces and that’s a good thing. If ChatGPT goes crazy, people will instantly use something different.
