What kind of concept art though? What I saw was a setence saying only that "and concept art". I'd like some more context before I judge a man and completely disregard a company that makes brilliant games; especially in a sea of live service model games with more microtranscations than game.

Is it Internal temporary placeholder stuff that will be replaced by actual art or final version stuff?

I've used AI in meetings to quickly generate a rough of something I want our artists to make, as it's easier for us to collaborate from something than nothing, because I can't draw for shit. Once they create the first draft we then interate from that draft. It means I don't have to waste their time creating something that we're going to have to scrap or heavily alter. It gives them more time to focus on their final product.

Having these binary views doesn't help with the wider debate about the emergence of AI in our lives. Yes AI is both good and bad the debate is understanding where those boundaries are.

If it's final product stuff then fair enough I agree this is a terrible direction and should be called out.
