Sandfall Interactive further clarifies that there are no generative AI-created assets in the game. When the first AI tools became available in 2022, some members of the team briefly experimented with them to generate temporary placeholder textures. Upon release, instances of a placeholder texture were removed within 5 days to be replaced with the correct textures that had always been intended for release, but were missed during the Quality Assurance process

Not exactly a massive AI slop problem, right?

Can we put our collective pitchforks away for this case at least?

NO.

My pitchfork stays sharpened and at the ready until this stupid bubble pops.

The AI was used for background assets that they failed to remove but patched quickly after. It’s not as egregious as the headline makes it out to be.

This is the same use case that people are currently up in arms against Larian for

When they understand the context behind this particular case, yes.

I don’t like billion dollar corporations, and I’d be fine to stop and leave that be all the context, but I also don’t like them using technology to manufacture truth while polluting the earth to do it.

So tell your coders to give you a tune up, the damage control algorithm didn’t pan out.

Not in general but for this at least? Maybe?

Nah there’s already a slap fight down in the comments between the hard liners and the “can’t we just give it a rest” folks. It’s gotten to the point I’m convinced there’s at least a few ai bots generating hate spam against ai bots.

No more than the ones pushing their pro-ai agenda.

Or maybe people are just fed up with AI being shoehorned into anything and their mum and overcorrect a bit?
