The real silly thing is how much energy is being spent on caring about something so inconsequential.

If you had time for things that were consequential, you wouldn’t be paying video games.

Also it was a small team not a full studio with millions

They didn’t use it for placeholders (which wouldn’t excuse them anyway, if you want a placeholder you can pay an artist to make it).
They got caught using it in production and came up with the placeholder excuse (which no one who’s ever seen a placeholder texture would fall for) on the spot, throwing the QA team under the bus to try to cover what is clearly a systemic problem with the company.

You anti AI peeps are so dramatic about things. It’s like listening to your grandparents find every excuse to blame every problem on smartphones

Smartphones are actually useful, and don’t have the moral, ethical, economic, societal, and existential issues that “generative AI” (which is neither generative nor intelligence) has.
