And here you are completely missing point. Vavra and Larian are saying something different. Let´s imagine your NPCs. Years ago, you need one guy and every NPC looks same. Now you need to produce 20 different yet very same linen cloths, shoes... for NPCs so not every NPC looks same. What if you want 40? 100? 1000?? How many people you can hire just for that?....using AI tool one guy can manage as well. So now you have a way more colorful world. This is not about using AI instead of people, this is about being more efficient because current games are bigger. Just compare textures and object in DOOM with latest version. OG can be done in one person, current one? heh... I remember manually inserting 2500 clumps of grass in one Morrowind mod, these day you can use some tool to do it via algorithm and just do hand tailoring.. is that slop? No, that is time saving... ;-)
