it's pretty obviously ai generated. i'd understand why someone wouldn't want to admit that tho
If they were giving for free sure, I wouldnt care too much, but the fact they are selling it and passing it off as their own art would be, for me at least a kind of false advertising or deceit. I think devs/game makers should be transparent on where and how they use AI.
Before AI ive seen some really good art similar way as this. So, Id like for the dev to be honest and tell me themselves if AI was used.
I've been using AI and neural network everywhere for the past 15 years, from procedural generation, to data analytics for improving balance in multiplayer games, to AI bots, to destruction and physics in games and the list is extremely long. I never disclosed it and no one ever cared. I do not care to disclose anything just because media has chosen to make a fuss about it and create debates around it in order to create governmental control of what is perceived as a potentially dangerous weapon by the powerful. Just enjoy having games with 60 levels instead of 10 for the same price. I do understand that the AI style might not suit everyone, and that's fine, technological improvement will allow us to create better, bigger games with the styles you love and better quality as well in the future (even now, the results are miles away from what could be done back when Hentai Afterlife was done).
