Former Steam Labs Developer Says 1,000 Steam Games Use Generative AI

Steam took a while to figure out its stance on generative AI, first reportedly refusing to publish games containing machine-made content but then introducing new rules stating all such titles must have a warning so players know what to expect. So how many Steam games use AI?

Ichiro Lambe, a former Steam Labs developer, got curious as well and ran a script collecting games with AI content disclosures, which claimed there are 1,000 titles on Steam that feature generative AI content.

And no, not all of them are obscure indies, some popular titles, like THE FINALS, are also involved. If you follow the news, this won’t surprise you: Embark Studios admitted to using AI text-to-speech, and the company doesn’t seem even slightly ashamed of it as this supposedly makes voice-overs “a matter of hours, instead of months.”
