A good reminder that Shin'en has been making an excellent F-Zero substitute in the FAST Racing series for the past decade or so. (They even hired the announcer from F-Zero GX/AX.)

It's gotten confusing, especially since a lot of computer-assisted things have gotten re-branded as "AI." (It's just like "blockchain" in the early 10s)
That's the only "middle ground" I see here. Stuff that makes the process easier, not GenAI that cheats you out of the process entirely.

Exactly, the greasy look *is* the AI look.

See, most image generator models don't understand how light and reflections work. So most err on the side of "have every surface exude light" because the alternative is a dimly lit scene where you can't really see anything.

Well, they’ve been asking for a Civil War. Luckily, they get to keep it to themselves.
