Note; I'm just posting what I asked on Newgrounds onto here.

 didn't know if I should bother the owner of this site with the question or not or to even ask this in the first place.

However long story short for future endeavors I was toying with the idea of using AI generated levels instead of human made levels. Please note I'd still be using assets made by me and possibly using levels designed by other people to train said AI.

On one hand I want to cut down the workload on future projects, long story short a platformer/ brick breaker style game I have sitting on the back burner because I'm a bit more wary about this question.

Yeah, yeah I could hire an actual level designer to cut down on the work load but I'd rather not spend the money to do so. I know this is a slippery slope. I know for this site you're not allowed to put on here/ have AI generated art, of course I'm not doing that unless I am using my own art and training my own AI with my own art and not other people's art.

I don´t know how anyone should even know if you use AI generated levels. Besides the fact you just told us. I know this whole AI thing is going to be more and more of a topic on here, there are several posts about it already. My opinion -and i guess that is all that anyone can give you- is that you can use as much or as little AI generated stuff as you want. Depending on what kind of AI program you use, of course. Some allow the use of generated stuff at least for non-commercial purpose, others may not. And contrary to popular belief, there are AI programs that are fed with free stuff, free pictures for example. But that is another topic, i guess. 

Thing is, even big companies are going to be using AI in the future, i´m pretty sure of it. Why should smaller, or even indie developers, not use it? We would have much more of a reason to. Less people, smaller budget(or non at all, if it´s just a hobby).

Huh? Is AI generated stuff banned here? I distintly remember games on here with stuff that was said to be AI.

AI is a bad word for what it is. It confuses people and gives false expectations.

For itch I imagine it would be a problem, if the copyright is unclear.   If you publish you somehwere assert that you do infact have   the right to do so.   Including  copyrights/licenses where needed. Should you have   material in the neural net training set, that you were not allowed to use,  that could lead to problems. And   there are arguments made  in courts, that you cannot even copyright AI material (imho that stems from that false expectation. AI implies I and that implies personhood, and if some other person created it, you cannot have the copyright. Or something like that. Wich is also wrong, because you can absolutely retain copyright of your employed workers. It is complicated, and the judges and lawmakers do not know much about computers, so they   try to apply rules from other fields.  That does not work well often.)

Whether you can find the difference is completely missing the point of those who are against AI-generated content, because they look farther than mere material output. As you say, you are aware of the slippery slope involved, so I don’t feel the need to explain it further.

Is it allowed? Yes. Since this topic went into ethics, all I can say is: you have your market.
