But they’re using GenAI in the ideation stage of concepting, which is something I have a problem with, and you don’t (which is fine, by the way). I feel like we’ve come back to the beginning of this argument, lol
I feel like replacing low-quality, quick-and-dirty doodles (often by non-artist members of the team) with medium-quality AI is fine and doesn’t pose a threat to the job security of concept artists (as exemplified by Larian currently hiring more concept artists).
If you’re just against any use of GenAI, then I get it - it is controversial due to the way it’s trained, and I’d prefer if they weren’t using it, but at least in terms of “AI replacing humans” it’s a non-issue in this case.
It was a slip of the tongue because it was Swen himself posting that on social media, not a PR department.
However, he explained that the entirety of concept art is being made by humans - 27 of them right now, but they’re hiring more.

But I was never making an “AI replacing humans” argument, we covered that already. I am against any use of GenAI.
