"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

"I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art" just to make reference, get ideas from and outline composition lmao

Similar to how voice AI use has been suggested; for 'scratch'
or reference.

I know many actors, myself among them, who got jobs from the scratch work.

Every example of AI being used I've seen is cutting away a job that someone coming up would take or get on their journey.

Maybe that's the point.
The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.

This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

The fact that the games industry is so dead-set on disregarding Concept Art as being part of the game it helps make is eternally frustrating to me.

If the slop machine extrudes a design for you that you then force an artist to make "real", that still means there's AI generated content in the game.
