I'm not a fan of gen AI either, but this feels like taking it a bit far. Getting pissed over them using gen AI for placeholder art, that was then replaced by human art in the release feels utterly ridiculous.
It's probably more that they said that they did not use gen AI when they did, even if it was quickly patched out
It says they didn't use it in the development of the game, which the representative most likely took as coding. This disqualification is just dumb as shit.
It's a gray zone in my opinion.
The final art will still be based on the AI (read: stolen) art. Where do you draw the line between a unique piece of art and copying existing art?
You're making assumptions both of the developers' workflow, and of their AI models.
Rivers don't flow up the mountain, let's not kid ourselves that there is "innocent" AI usage in this context.
