[…] backlash against his assertions regarding Larian’s use of genAI “to explore ideas, flesh out PowerPoint presentations, develop concept art and write placeholder text”
All of these tasks can be done by a human using tools that existed before generative AI started to rub its cock and balls on everything.
You can say that something has been “lost in translation”, but if you have AI anywhere near concept art, you are diminishing the work of actual artists.

And if those artists do their work on a digital tablet instead of physical media, they are also diminish the work of actual artists.

I don’t remember Wacom scraping the internet and stealing artists’ entire portfolios in order to power their tablets.
I don’t recall anyone’s job being replaced by a drawing tablet.

What a fucking stupid analogy

Using scraped data to train AI models was never seen as theft before the recent media campaign.
Labeling it as such won’t stop AI, it will just let aggregation websites like Reddit and Deviant Art set the entry price. Any artist that uploads his work on the net has already signed his rights away when it comes to this.
It’s even worse when you get into music gen (5 corps own all the data) and video gen (Hollywood and YouTube). Individuals are simply not getting a piece of the pie no matter what happens.
