I'm sure all of the recently out of work artists and programmers are heartbroken over another game that paid for gen AI instead of hiring them. I'm sure the AI company executives just needed the money more. Fuck whomever decided to AI in the Clair project management team. You could have actually deserved that awards. Good on the Indie Game Awards for actually supporting indie developers

    Did you even read? They used it for placeholders before replacing them with textures created by artists.

    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

    Considering the backlash, maybe it was silly of them to use it for placeholders.
