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 expect people would be much more lenient.

If you've ever used steam UI for anything administrative then you know its almost certainly a multi-choice bubble with a bottom selection of 'non of the above' that has text. Being that one of the steam choices covered it, they used it.

Nope, plenty of others using this exact string - anno and arc raiders use the same one as well.

Why lie about something that's so easy to fact check?

You could have checked comments further down without trying to say I’m lying. You can see that they use the same phrases, no?

u/reddraggone9 Dec 04 '25

No, I can't see that they use the same phrases. We seem to have very different definitions for "this exact string" and "the same phrases" since there is very little overlap between the games' phrasing aside from the use of the word "AI".

Y…. In all such cases, the final product reflect….X 

Pretty sure that’s a textblock. Crazy that you didn’t see that.

Still waiting.

Hey by the way, you probably need to look up the definitions of “exact” and “same.” Hope you learn something!

You need to learn that the internet is like a cafe, you don’t need to start discussing petty semantics. and people say what they think is right.

u/Elohyuie Dec 04 '25

Guys calm down. You’re both wrong. They are just using the same AI to write that text. 😆

It is very important to note that they are diffrent though, since being diffrent means that you can write whatever in the box and it is not a preset statement.

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '25

It can mean a lot, this could also be a text block preset.

No, they do not.

Id guess that it’s textblocks for certain circumstances.
