Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards (www.xda-developers.com)

Clair Obscur won multiple awards but used generative AI art as placeholders during production.

The Indie Game Awards revoked Clair Obscur’s Debut and Game of the Year after the AI disclosure.

IGAs reassigned the awards (Blue Prince, Sorry We’re Closed) and reignited debate on gen-AI use.

It's probably more that they said that they did not use gen AI when they did, even if it was quickly patched out

It says they didn't use it in the development of the game, which the representative most likely took as coding. This disqualification is just dumb as shit.

It's a gray zone in my opinion.

The final art will still be based on the AI (read: stolen) art. Where do you draw the line between a unique piece of art and copying existing art?

You're making assumptions both of the developers' workflow, and of their AI models.

Rivers don't flow up the mountain, let's not kid ourselves that there is "innocent" AI usage in this context.

God forbid anyone uses anyone else's art as a reference. /s

The answer to your question is whether they drew the art/wrote the code themselves. Ie. Not tracing or just renaming variables.
