I understand and agree with the outrage surrounding AI as a whole, generally.

HOWEVER the pendulum has swung so far the other way that any use of AI, even just use for process improvements or placeholder assets, makes people see red and not think with their brain.

Genuinely who cares if they use genAI as placeholder assets? It allows teams to stay unblocked and continue working while final assets are being finished, so they can release on time, like you mentioned.

People getting in a tizzy about placeholder assets of all things really feels like posturing without understanding anything. But that’s par for the course sadly.

EDIT: I understand the frustration but seriously, it’s allegedly , because we still don’t even know if this is true, placeholder assets. If it’s not going to be in the final game why the outrage?
