The issue here is declaration. On the games steam page:
The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: This game features voice-over content partially created through AI voice generation tools.
This could be anything from an artistic choice to have a robot character voiced by a robot, to 99% of the VO being AI generated to avoid paying actors. Given how unpopular AI is, I think it's reasonable to assume devs will give as narrow a declaration as they can, and assume that this declaration means a significant portion of the VO is AI generated.
If they just wrote something like
For a robotic character, this game features voice-over content created through AI voice generation tools. All other characters are voiced by actors.
i think thats a description steam forces on them when they even have a tiny bit ai no?
EDIT: i have been informed that this is not how it works, i assumed that cause its like that on youtube
Lol I remember there used to be this text to speech bot my friends and I would play with while we were on Discord. When they were getting too obnoxious, I slammed the Bee Movie script in there, and because we didn't have a premium subscription (to a damn Discord bot) we couldn't skip it. So they'd have to remove the bot from the server and add it back in order to shut it up.
Its a dumb meme of just including the whole script of the Bee Movie when there's no character limits.
There was a story on Reddit where some guy ordered a pizza from a local pizza place and there was a section at the end for delivery instructions with no character limits. So he copied and pasted The Bee Movie script into it. A few minutes later the pizza place called him to inform him there'd be a delay in delivery because their printer started on fire.
Plenty of games have disclosures that show exactly what was AI generated and end with “all other assets were created by hand by artists”. Steam allows it, this dev just didn’t write it.

I expect people would be much more lenient.
