If I really wanted to be mean, I'd say that Vincke/Larian's hard pivot to AI is unsurprising coming off a game like BG3 that largely evaded being about anything other than offering the player shallow fantasies of agency - a game as commodity first, art second.

Horses, the Most Controversial Game of the Year, Doesn’t Live Up to the Hype
First it was banned. Then its sales blew up. But Horses fails to meet the lofty goals of its own ideas.
