As Garry's Mod successor quickly becomes overrun with gen-AI after launching on Steam, Garry himself commits to "taking action to promote human creativity"

S&box.

The follow-up to Garry's Mod, S&box, has been out on Steam for only a day, and there's already some discourse going on. As with anything that involves user-generated creativity these days, AI projects are starting to appear, prompting the devs to make it clear that nothing they've done involves the technology.

Garry Newman, creator of Garry's Mod and founder of S&box developer Facepunch Studios, addressed the issue in a statement to Rock Paper Shotgun. "Low quality, obvious AI-created slop is going to be a growing problem in every creative outlet. We don't encourage using AI to be creative," he says. "We don't encourage using AI to create games for you."
