Steam hosts a third-party AI gaming festival: What it reveals about Game Dev
Artificial intelligence in games has a labeling problem, and it starts with the word itself. For a lot of players, "AI-generated game" conjures a specific image: synthetic artwork, generated voices, assets spat out from a text prompt. For developers, though, AI usually means something much less visible: a coding assistant suggesting a C# function, a tool hunting for bugs, an automated localization pass, a prototype thrown together faster with an LLM's help, or a system genera

The End of the Collage Fallacy: MIT Study demonstrates that AI art has no single author.
One of the most persistent logical fallacies surrounding generative AI is the idea that it operates like a high-tech scrapbook, simply cutting, pasting, and collaging pieces of its training data to form an output. According to a new study out of MIT CSAIL published yesterday in Nature Communications, this assumption is mathematically false. The research, led by Zheng Dai and David Gifford, thoroughly dismantles the idea that an AI-generated image can be traced back to a speci

Art is an emotional medium, whether it’s movies or plays or paintings.” In a rare interview published during the Cannes Film Festival, 81-year-old cinema pioneer George Lucas weighed in on the technological shifts currently reshaping Hollywood, explicitly embracing generative artificial intelligence. While discussing
