After the huge impact on the PC gaming community, it's logical to despise AI and ban it from any awards. First cryptocurrencies pumped huge price raises on GPUs, then prices won't return to normal due to AI and now it's impacting RAM prices.

Compute demand likely improved today's availability and performance of hardware.
I play games on cheap hardware. I would like awards to focus on the quality of the game, rather than how they were made.
Awards that focus on quality is too desired to not be a thing.
I expect generative AI to become a competitive advantage taken up by the vast majority.
