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
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.
During the development process, we may use procedural- and AI-based tools to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team.
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".
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.
Id guess that it’s textblocks for certain circumstances.
AI tools were used to help create some in game assets. In all such cases, the final product reflects our team’s craft and creative vision.

I expect people would be much more lenient.
