This is less like making a new cake from scratch after disposing of the previous one, and more like making a new cake using the same unwashed cake tin and utensils
No matter what, the AI replacements would have affected how the artists made the final products as, whether they liked it or not, they had a point of reference in the form of the AI texture
It’s is still their own artistic sensibility that made the art, not the AI. You will always be inspired by other things while doing anything requiring creativity.
Would being inspired by Picasso suddenly make one art worthless? Of course not. So why would being inspired by an AI generated example make it any different ?
It’d be on brand then - if they asked AI to write out an argument for them, they’d take credit for the whole essay & if found out, they’d claim it was what they wanted to convey anyway
Not necessarily. If I use an anthropomorphic cat as an asset for a character who in the end is a robot, can you really say it took inspiration?
Granted, I haven’t seen any of the assets. But placeholders aren’t inherently inspiration. They can easily just be random things to look at before proper assets are made.
And even if they did take inspiration, that isn’t the complaint. Would there be a need to disclose if they used a generative AI to generate a picture, and they used that as inspiration? What if they saw an gen AI image someone else posted and used that as inspiration? Inspiration isn’t the problem, it’s the “use of AI in development” which seems silly when these could have potentially been wire frames and result in the exact same final product.

To compare using AI to getting inspired by Picasso is wild
They want to argue for AI, they just don’t know how. Says it all.
It’d be on brand then - if they asked AI to write out an argument for them, they’d take credit for the whole essay & if found out, they’d claim it was what they wanted to convey anyway
The argument for it boils to “im lazy”. Which is why they are struggling to come up with anything else that justifies the negatives.
I said “being inspired by”, not “using”. There is a difference.

And yet, as we seem to be skirting around my original point of, this wasn’t disclosed when sold
I’m against AI in video games, but what I dislike here is the action of deceit. Of not allowing buyers to make an informed choice
