I peeked at *hitterhole (X) and see what's the fuss is about.... Holy God.

- One side clutching pearl about any AI use that even remotely related to final product is unethical. Because there is actually an ethical consumption under Capitalism, obviously.
- #Them (code name: Rat King/Cockroach Leader) obviously dipping their toes to it and support AI usage.
- "Larian Content Creator" like WolfheartFPS scrambling for "Centrist" conclusion.
- The "I hate AI no matter what but I love E33 and now that somebody reminded me that the Dev mentioned they used AI, I moved the goal post to "I love the game but condemn the use of AI"".

meanwhile:

Cromwelp says: X
GameRadar/PCGamer/Kotako: "LARIAN DEV SAYS X".

Not sure what to think about this. I accept Swen explanation, but feels bad that this inevitably will start hearsay like "Larian use AI for their game" for years to come.


Edit.

Additionally, this will be a bad casus belli and inevitably will push Larian Studio into the Culture War on the internet.

Push for AI, one side will despise you.
Push for Anti-AI, the other side will despise you.
Staying in the center, risk both side despising you.

One side already making an argument if Larian pulling back from AI, that's the signal that "Larian has gone "woke"", and it will be used to discredit the game when it released.
