It is crazy how gaming culture has devolved into โshit on everything you donโt likeโ. Damn people are really miserable. If you donโt like it, just say so. Point out what you do and donโt like about it. If someone else likes it, thatโs awesome! Let people enjoy things!

I feel like people are either not reading the whole article for understanding or are choosing to act in bad faith over this. Yes AI can and is used in terrible ways. Yes AI uses tons of resources. It is used in so many unnecessary ways. This is not it. It is improving lives.
So people are mad that the studio uses it to:
1. Help automate work that people donโt want to do.
2. Used for initial reference/inspiration
3. Is not used in any finalized work
4. Is not replacing anyoneโs job
5. Is completely optional to use
Letโs break these points down
Holy fuck guys weโre not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI.
We have a team of 72 artists of which 23 are concept artists and we are hiring more. The art they create is original and Iโm very proud of what they do.
I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didnโt say we use it to develop concept art. The artists do that. And they are indeed world class artists.
We use AI tools to explore references, just like we use google and art books. At the very early ideation stages we use it as a rough outline for composition which we replace with original concept art. There is no comparison.
I talked about how we use ML here if you would like to know more:

We've hired creatives for their talent, not for their ability to do what a machine suggests, but they can experiment with these tools to make their lives easier.

Call me a GGG glazer, but it is so wild this communities reaction to updates. New updates every 4 months. Each update adding more content than most $20 DLCs and more content than some games see in a year. All while keeping their commitment to POE 1. This community is cooked man.
Say itโs copium all you want. It is crazy how a single elimination tournament performance outweighs only dropping one Bo5 all year. Keep your head held high GenG.
