If they are being honest? I cannot emphasize enough what a terrible idea it is to use "the machine that tricks people" to generate "placeholder material" you intend to replace. You are just making everyone else's job harder by effectively hiding what needs to be replaced

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

There is no AI in Earth Must Die.
FULL DISCLOSURE in desperation, in my darkest hour, I did use CoPilot to try and fix a bug, but the code it spewed out was such absolute dogshit I couldn't have implemented it if I wanted to.

to beat a dead and boring horse: Pantaloon won't sign/work with any studio using gen-AI - a philosophy reflected at a contractual level.
That said, all of the best and most interesting pitches we receive never go near it anyway. Go figure.

And one other thing: we’re being told that AI is the only way to make games cheaper and faster, to pull us from this precipice of production nightmares the industry has found itself in. That it’s necessary.
We put out roughly 3 motherfucking games a year, not touching the stuff.

We don't use generative AI at either Minor Key Games or Question. Partly on principle, and partly because we're really good at what we do.

this 0.2 second cheek skin bounce effect had a higher budget than most indie games
Love this little animation of Shu pinching himself in Silent Hill F. The pulled corner of his mouth, the way his skin bounces back. Just a fun little well-observed moment.
