the review does a pretty good job of grounding the deployment of AI as an active effect on the player while playing the game. It's not just an issue because they were told the game used AI. Did you read the review?

"Let's assume the author's issue is that generative AI is used instead of hiring human actors." Exactly. It's normal to apply your personal ethics to the media you engage with. It's also clearly drawn by the critic, allowing you to easily disagree. That's a good review.
