Potterharry97 resubmitted the game with some art edits to remove 'any obvious signs of AI.' But the developer said Valve's response indicated that after ' our time to better understand the AI tech used to create ,' Valve was still 'declining to distribute since it’s unclear if the underlying AI tech used to create the assets has sufficient rights to the training data.' 'As the legal ownership of such AI-generated art is unclear, we cannot ship your game while it contains these AI-generated assets,' Valve's message continued, 'unless you can affirmatively confirm that you own the rights to all of the IP used in the data set that trained the AI to create the assets in your game.' In particular, contains art assets generated by artificial intelligence that appears to be relying on copyrighted material owned by third parties.' which appears to belongs to one or more third parties. That 'obvious' use of AI art tools apparently set off some alarm bells with a Valve moderator, who reportedly replied that Valve had 'identified intellectual property. In a follow-up post this month on the AIGameDev subreddit, potterharry97 wrote that the initial submission was intended as an early placeholder version, 'with 2-3 assets/sprites that were admittedly obviously AI generated from the hands.' In that post, potterharry97 admitted that 'a large portion of the assets have some AI involvement in its creation' through the use of Stable Diffusion.

Potterharry97 originally posted about the rejection in a May post on the now-private GameDev subreddit ( partially archived here, Google Cache here). An anonymous developer going by the Reddit handle potterharry97 reports having a Steam game page submission rejected for the use of 'art assets generated by artificial intelligence that appears to be relying on copyrighted material owned by third parties.'

Valve has reportedly become the latest company to react to the uncertain legal landscape surrounding AI-generated artwork by simply barring its use in submitted materials.
