I don’t like it. AI is cheaper and could be a huge boon to Indy games.
It would probably be an even bigger boon to jeet scams. Steam's crapware problem is bad enough without Sundar using AI to make the malware he swiped from his chink buddy look like a presentable game on the storefront.
Unfortunately, whether games qualify for awards or not doesn't affect the situation you described.
I'm just addressing the larger point of AI being a net positive to the industry. I've yet to see it be good for anything but entertainment, but I suppose it may have some hope of replacing artists and voice actors if decent enough models become reasonably accessible to the average indie developer. There's no "if" or "may" when it comes to jeet scams. They're already using AI for that purpose in other contexts.
And yet they're not targeting the shovelware with this.
If I ever make a game, I am going to do my level best to never hire a voice actor. After all of their crowing "Learn to Code" when all the industries of my state shut down, I want nothing more for them than for them to be eating out of dumpsters and living in cardboard boxes for the rest of their lives.
Walk up to them, push them away and say "Sorry, the dumpster salvage rights are already provided exclusively to the possums, racoons and crows under the Joint Animal Friendship Treaty. Leave now before I call security."
