Clair Obscur won multiple awards but used generative AI art as placeholders during production.

The Indie Game Awards revoked Clair Obscur’s Debut and Game of the Year after the AI disclosure.

IGAs reassigned the awards (Blue Prince, Sorry We’re Closed) and reignited debate on gen-AI use.

It means AI was used to replace work hours from humans. That's kind of the whole point of anti AI.

Also, to go a bit extreme on an extrapolation of this: ai makes game and all assets. Humans then replace everything with non AI things that look pretty much the same and then say it isn't an AI game.

It was placeholder art. They didn't reduce the artist hire because they weren't going to have the artist make orange boxes and MSpaint character icons.

The reductio ad absurdum is equally silly the other way. "Does the seeded algorithmic generation of a cloud texture disqualify anything that uses it as AI???" This is a debate stage level talking point, and is unconvincing in reality.
