AI generated content disclosure via Arc Raider's Steam page: The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: 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.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.

They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

YouTube comment screenshot. "The Gamecube was the first console I ever bought myself, brand new on release, and the beautiful little purple box still works PERFECTLY to this day. I just started Metroid Prime again too! 2:31 It wasn't a killer "app" for the Gamecube. It was a game, on a disk. Apps are for smartphones and tablets, not computers and consoles."
