UK Games Expo bans generative AI art and text across all trade halls
UK Games Expo has introduced a mandatory policy prohibiting generative AI art and text across all NEC trade halls, requiring exhibitors to sell only human-made games.
![Screenshot of part of the Wikipedia article for "fish finger":
There was an abundance of herring in the United Kingdom after World War II. Clarence Birdseye test-marketed herring fish fingers, a product he had discovered in the United States,[7][8] under the name "herring savouries". These were tested in Southampton and South Wales against "cod fingers", a comparatively bland product used as a control. Shoppers, however, confounded expectations by showing an overwhelming preference for the cod.[9] The snack was nearly called Battered Cod Pieces, until a poll of Birds Eye workers opted for the snappier Fish Fingers.
The words "battered cod pieces" are highlighted for emphasis.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:q6nnwnbafd3yn7m5eez57xbl/bafkreigs7tos4k3gub2lwgamw5kzefmz5empv27zggkqubpbeunuvaumw4)
