Thus, the matchmaking algorithm used to bring players together in a match has arrived in Valve's game, which was leaked for a long time and then officially announced, thanks to OpenAI technology.
A survey conducted a year ago showed that 31% of game developers use generative AI (content creation) in some form. Since then, the percentage has likely increased, and Valve can certainly be counted on this, as Fletcher Dunn, who has been an engineer at Valve for over a decade, confirmed on Twitter that he also used ChatGPT.
“I'll keep posting my ChatGPT wins because this thing keeps blowing my mind and I think there are some skeptics who don't understand how great this tool is. A few days ago, we switched our deadlock matchmaking to the Hungarian method. I found it using ChatGPT.
“Find me this thing I don't know the search term for but I'll try to explain” makes it a great app. If you're wrong or hallucinating (which happens sometimes), you'll soon find out. I'm a bit conflicted because it's often an alternative to asking someone else a question in real life, or at least tweeting it to a virtual think tank. I think that's a good thing (the whole point?), but it's just another way for computers to replace human interaction,” Dan wrote in a summary of several tweets.
I'll keep posting my ChatGPT wins, because this thing continues to amaze me, and I think there are some skeptics out there who don't realize how amazing this tool is.

Steam introduced a rule in January that requires developers to disclose their use of generative AI when submitting their games, and this information is typically listed on Steam. This includes dead ends. Although the fact that Dunn uses ChatGPT as a search engine doesn't really make it necessary, although in the case of Valve's policy, it could be called specific: “Any content (technical elements, software code, sounds, etc.) that was developed with the help of tools Which uses artificial intelligence during…
So Valve doesn't get away with using ChatGPT either, but if it makes work easier, that's not a problem.
