AI gen art??

[Viscera]

I am enjoying the game with someone but I've stumbled upon poster art in one of the chapters that looks very AI generated, Dev's what's up with the Erday-Coffee poster is this part of the gimmick or undisclosed AI?

Edit 1: Here is a link to the image

I really want to know the answer to this. Everything about that image says to me it's gen"ai" that's been polished up with photoshop.

There's composition problems, how the hair is layered, the general "plastic" vibe that's common with generative "art", the arm placement...etc

Games that have *any* gen"ai" content have to be flagged on steam, so I want to know if this is just something that feels generative but isn't, or if the devs haven't labeled it as such.

0 protection for artists who had those jobs, COD for instance, fired Samantha Maxis's voice actor who's been the voice of Samantha for 10 years, voice is AI and no one noticed it AND they are using the likelihood of her voice and they trained their AI with her voice without paying her!!!!

That's why , AI slope like this , has been learnt from real artist's work and considering these companies are huge and can pay artists, it's so low to fire them/ not hire them again to pay less by doing AI slope pics like this (keep in mind, wallpapers and pics in games are the cheapest form of art in the games, if they do AI for the cheapest stuff, imagine what they will do in 5 years...whole game is gonna be generated by AI, look up smantha maxis's voice in BO6, so soulless, even their new characters like Terminator are all AI voiced and don't have a soul! yes, terminator is a robot himself but even in that case his voice is o off, they also added a new loading screen pic which had santa with 6 fingers cause it was AI!! waanna talk about "whats wrong with AI" you gotta start from morality if you have any which I hope you do)

I mean, that game part takes place in the cyberpunk dystopia. If the art is AI generated then it fits in there perfectly.

The people who's art it got trained on didn't get paid for it.

[Viscera]

Honestly it's simply a possibility that this art piece in particular slipped through and the game itself has no further alleged AI content

I understand we're very passionate about boundaries especially when it comes to artist but this post is seeking clarity over contempt, especially when uncertainty can be strong and compelling, my hope is it either brings it to the Devs attention or the Devs provide clarity to steams standards of informing people buying the game that such content does or doesn't exist and maybe even a third outcome

if it is ai but they have all the other wonderfull art in the game that would be sad but could also just be a bad piece by an artist in general instead you can only speculate about this but howevr you turn it ai is bad in general and artist should becompensated when there art is used by ai

Ok so do all artist pay every other artist? Because all artists 'train' by using other artists art.

but they doint take over someone style it get mixed with your own style you dont copy someone's work and can not make a blatant copy because it will always be diffrent then the original piece ai can copy with 100% acuracy it its well trained humans cant

Obviously there is a difference between an artist being inspired by the work of another and going on to create another, unique piece of art, and the mass reaving of material by LLM algos which are unable to really produce anything original at all.

For the record, I feel the same about people who just trace over other peoples art, change the colour and call it "Original work" too.

Ok i understand your point but keeping traditional artist in a team cost both time and resources where using a AI is fast and very cheap and give the same outcome traditional artist produce.

What if they used Adobe? Adobe's AI is only trained on licensed images.
BTW, I'm not for or against AI art, if it looks ♥♥♥♥♥♥ I won't play it, but claiming every training dataset is like SD is a disingenuous argument. I think Steam's disclosure requirement is a sufficient compromise, funny that AAA seems to keep breaking that rule and not getting punished. One would think it would be the bottomfeeders.

Oh also, I don't think this image is the smoking gun OP thinks it is. It's competently made, if not particularly appealing.
