Is there AI art in the game?

[M.Y.K]

True question, i screenshoot something, confirm me (and don't insult the devs)

Yep, and all that you listed usually credits the appropriate persons involved for the end result. Similar to case law built on precedent.

Nope. Storytellers are not required to make a comprehensive list of every source of inspiration. Countless interviewers with them reveal new revelations all the time of where inspiration came from.

I feel like this tangent got away from what you originally wrote. I'll quote this again.

I bolded the relevant text for clarity.

As a person who has conducted research, both in university and professional settings, referencing authority and providing footnotes to references is extremely crucial to the process of refuting or supporting a point of view.

I'm not 100% clear on your educational experience, or background on research, or profession, but what I do know is that reputable works of research are built on the precipice of precedent. No qualified individual would dream of purporting otherwise.

Interoffice memorandum written in law firms do exactly this. This is merely for your own information, but when law firms, for example, conduct an inquiry into subject matter that is unfamiliar to them, typically it's up to associate attorneys or advanced paralegals to conduct brainstorming and research - raising key questions, and using research databases to Shepardize and verify reputable authority. This area of brainstorming is incredible, because a clear and concise thought process is used to articulate a once difficult point to one that is now apparent and understood. Crediting relevant case law, statutes, or other primary authority is extremely important in this area of practice, because without it I would be supporting a claim without evidence. Who does that?

I'm... not really sure why you juxtaposed research with "inspiration." We all draw inspiration from a myriad of video games, things, places we visited, people we love. But from a professional standpoint, you can't exactly place the Grand Canyon, your mother, or a beautiful bird that ate from your birdfeeder as a footnote in your research. That's... absurd.

Your tangent got away from the intent of my previous post. In by saying that providing credits to the appropriate persons, I paralleled case law utilizing precedent. With AI, when an image is created using existing template, be it some 1800's illustration from the National Gallery, or some talented artist on the internet making something wholly original in Photoshop, AI doesn't care if the material being used is to be referenced, honored, credited or given ample footnotes. An image is merely created and no credits are referenced.

I'm sure you are aware of the writer's strike in Hollywood, too. Similar points are raised to the use of AI art in video games, and I think it's worth discussing. There's a tremendous difference in hand-painted art that came from a talented artist, who spent years crafting their trade, to that of what is colloquially known as "AI slop."

As a person who has close friends who are artists, writers, scientists, legal professionals, etc., who underwent intensive schooling in Masters and Doctorate programs, AI can be a useful tool in directing people to the correct area of interest - for example, I use it at work to search a long excerpt of relevant material. It is not, however, a good tool for creating work product. We should make some attempt to uphold a higher standard. I think that's just common sense. We are capable of expressing so much emotion in our art - so, let's do that,

They replaced it in the game for another one hand made. They just forgot to remove this placeholder texture. Seemed weird to see AI in this beautiful game

There's AI generated textures, but seems like most are first made and retouched by AI

It's just an art style from the dev, no AI.

No, that's 100% AI, i do generation as a hobby most of the time, this is the average result of older models, it takes a lot of time to make that by hand.
