Fan Response-

Also to note: to those replying "Oh that's not that bad" fail to understand how dangerous for artists and creatives having any sort of AI-Generated inclusion for game development and publishing.

Or maybe forgotten that AI-Generated content 'creates' directly off often stolen material from creatives, and how these tools have very rapidly become twisted in the wrong hands in today's time and continue to be misused. Or how this is very sadly different from Valve's demeanor towards modders and fans years ago.

I didn't make this post with the intention to spread out-of-proportion fear, but because this news is important and needs to be let known where Valve's current morals lie. Aside from arguably valid copyright concerns, these kinds of harsh actions towards modders and creatives are concerning.
