Can we put our collective pitchforks away for this case at least?
NO.
My pitchfork stays sharpened and at the ready until this stupid bubble pops.
Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage

Sandfall Interactive further clarifies that there are no generative AI-created assets in the game. When the first AI tools became available in 2022, some members of the team briefly experimented with them to generate temporary placeholder textures. Upon release, instances of a placeholder texture were removed within 5 days to be replaced with the correct textures that had always been intended for release, but were missed during the Quality Assurance process

Not exactly a massive AI slop problem, right?

The AI was used for background assets that they failed to remove but patched quickly after. It’s not as egregious as the headline makes it out to be.

I think you misunderstood me. All AI is humanity-ending garbage that needs to be eliminated. I don’t give two figs how or where it’s used - I want it all gone.

AI that finds protein foldings or cures for cancer is humanity-ending? Careful with that stretching, you could hurt yourself.

Do you even have a tech background? How is a machine learning algorithm going to end humanity?

It’s not a bubble though. That’s like waiting for the internet bubble to pop back in the 90s. AI will be around from now on, just not as such an in your face way. It will eventually become ubiquitous, just like many other pieces of tech.

This massive new economic sector that is eclipsing the GDP of most nations combined in under 10 years, which is almost entirely subsidized by a combination of venture capital, which is being forced in to any product that involves electricity regardless of suitability, this industry and that loses money every time a user interacts with it (even the paying customers) is not a bubble?
Please, enlighten us on what you think an economic bubble is. A lot of us were around for the dotcom bubble; to say it was not one, when we were standing there watching the market rise into the stratosphere and come crashing down, is a bit much.

Lol you think people on lemmy are going to put away their AI pitchforks?

I don’t like billion dollar corporations, and I’d be fine to stop and leave that be all the context, but I also don’t like them using technology to manufacture truth while polluting the earth to do it.
So tell your coders to give you a tune up, the damage control algorithm didn’t pan out.

Not in general but for this at least? Maybe?

Nah there’s already a slap fight down in the comments between the hard liners and the “can’t we just give it a rest” folks.

Or maybe people are just fed up with AI being shoehorned into anything and their mum and overcorrect a bit?

No more than the ones pushing their pro-ai agenda.

When they understand the context behind this particular case, yes.

Yeah I figured this app had more tech savvy and educated people. Evidently, it’s littered with people that barely got through high school.

Good. Burn both companies to the ground. Set them as an example.

Not quite. Larian also wants to use it for concept art, which is not the same thing as placeholder assets. To give you a bit of context, the standard for placeholder textures at the software development companies I worked so far has mostly been “vaguely fitting images you found on Google”.
