tl;dr: GenAI and game design concepts traditionally referred to as "AI" (enemy behaviors, pathfinding, etc.) are not the same thing, and I'm on my knees begging people to learn the difference, lest we see more bullshit claims like what The Escapist put out re: Blue Prince.
Weird weekend, huh? Took a crack at breaking down the whole Clair Obscur genAI situation, and its bizarre fallout, as best as possible. My main takeaway right now is that people really need to figure out exactly what they're criticizing or it's going to get messy. www.polygon.com/clair-obscur...
The debate over gen AI in games is about to get a lot messier in 2026

It's very easy:
Just don't. The idea that Copilot or ChatGPT are suddenly essential tools is just buying into the corporate ad blitz.
Games were made just fine (well, relatively) up through...what, 2023? 2024? They didn't suddenly become VITAL for budgets or design docs in the last 2-3 years.

They are not even remotely the same thing and everyone with a brain knows when we say AI we are not talking about pathfinding and enemy behavior and procgen, we are talking about theft and plagiarization and slop
I mean... what game doesn't? They always have. Enemies run off ai, for example. Procedural generation is a form of ai. We need to make the distinction between plagiarism from generative Ai and the stuff we've had for decades

The Escapist Article claiming that Blue Prince use of AI scripting to run the game (as it's a rouge like) is the same thing as generative AI is related to this btw.
lrt related- It is absolutely on purpose that language around AI has became a buzz word more than anything. Always double check things and while Sandfall has some explaining to do with the placeholder, I'm not expecting any Dev team to hand place 6 billion assets... who the fuck wants to do that?

As much as I love (and agree with) the backlash against Larien and e33 over the Ai usage stuff I really hope it carries over to games and companies that didn't have a "It's popular now it sucks" mindset.

this was one of the funnier changes they had to make to the newer versions of sa2b
no vmu or gba to connect to so all the options they had for those were gutted and now there's just a chao garbage chute in every garden
