We can’t. We just have to trust that devs are honest with us.

What exactly would be enough evidence for you?

I’m not trying to be pedantic, I just think is a level of demanding proof that ai was never used at any point during the dev process is unrealistic.

I have no idea what kind of “proof” would be enough.

You asked why the placeholder art made it into the final game, and that is the answer

It made it in because it was missed. Lots of things make it into the final version of a game because they were missed.

I got a lot of replies to this post, but this is probably the most bad faith reaction i have seen yet. Just making up that “the E33 devs only didn’t like genai because it wasn’t advanced enough”. bsky.app/profile/ttvm...

Why are you making stuff up? Why are you putting words in their mouth? Where did they say “they didn’t like because it wasn’t advanced enough”?

I was actually asking if the French audience was as vocal about this and the English speaking side has been.

Yeah it feels like to me that a lot of people are forgetting that they are a French studio. Idk how this conversation has been going over on the French side, but it was bound to take a bit before they had an official English language response.

For the record, this is from YouTube video that was posted 2 days ago on December 22. I don’t know when the actual interview took place, though.

What gets me is the AI-bros trying to act like “see you like a game that was made by AI”, when the E33 team didn’t even like using it.

In order to put to rest “did they actually use it or not”, Guillaume Broche said it a recent Q&A that they tried AI when the tech was new, but they didn’t like it, it felt wrong to them. And they will not be using it in the future.
