Ah, that bodes ill for my plan then—that means IFComp is the only major comp left that allows live-AI games, and your first opportunity to enter that would be next July.
Personally, I’m not a big fan of AI or games that use it, but I do also think it’s worth having a venue to experiment with them and see if anyone comes up with brilliant new uses. (Ideally using models with less plagiarism.) Maybe one will arise next year to fill this gap.
