As always, when Steam does one thing, Epic does the opposite.
But still, Steam doesn't forbid all AI content. It requires developers to have rights over the content on which it was trained, which seems logical.

It really just requires a single step of indirection. Instead of indie dev using AI directly, they pay Joe's Asset Shack for their assets which may or may not be generated.
If you train on AI generated art, you get bad results.
I wonder if there are AI models based on Public Domain, and how would that fare under their rule.
There's one model but it's not the greatest quality at the moment, not to undermine that it's an amazing project
Yeah, I was wondering that too. AFAIK not right now, but probably is just a matter of time.

Tim Sweeney ok with garbage games polluting the Epic Games storefront.
At least then there’ll be more than just the stuff they bought on there.
Typical pick-me energy from Sweeny here.
Let's see how fast EGS has to deal with AI copyright infringement.
I doubt they will. Their merchant contact very likely stipulates that publishers are responsible for any copyright issues in their product.
At this point it feels like Tim Sweeney is a generative AI which has been exclusively trained on taking a data set from Steam's and Gabe's decisions and inverting them. And that's it.
As always when steam does one thing, epic always does the opposite.
