Just want to clear the air out for something.
GenAI sucks and has no place in gaming or anything. Using it no matter how big or small will forever leave a stain on a perfectly good reputation and will break the trust of friends and fans.
Itโs not too late to better yourself.
Friendly reminder that there is no "ethical way" to use gen-AI. Not for art assets, not for coding/scripting, not even for concept art. There is no "ethical use".
It hurts the environment and uses stolen work only to be half as good as an entry-level artist/developer.
using ai to generate ideas and reference is still lazy and shitty. Go out and look at real art for inspiration instead of asking chatgpt to shit out slop

if i ever see yet another secret island or another big bad villain/hybrid mutant monster dinosaur thing in Jurassic i might just be done with the whole franchise. They've done the latter like 5 times now ๐คฆ๐ฝโโ๏ธ even more if you count the animated series
generative AI has NO PLACE in creativity. generative AI can not replace artists, designers, programmers, musicians, writers, or visionaries. the fact that we're in an era where people who supposedly value creativity will bend over backwards to defend gen AI use is terribly sad.
Concept art is what the foundations of your game's art is being built on. Using AI to make that is still using AI art, stop excusing companies for doing it
