Hang on... So could this title have also been written as "A majority of developers think generative AI isn't a negative for the games industry"?

If you want the exact context from the article:

Almost a third of respondents felt Gen AI was having a negative effect on the industry: 30%, up from 20% last year. 13% felt the impact was positive, down from 21%. "When asked to cite their specific concerns, developers pointed to intellectual property theft, energy consumption, the quality of AI-generated content, potential biases, and regulatory issues," reads the survey.

So yes, the title is an oversimplification, but there are still far more saying it’s currently a negative than a positive. I’m assuming the remaining 57% are undecided/unsure or declined to respond.
