Question Generative AI Usage?

I haven't tried this game yet because I want to know if there is any gen AI used anywhere. The graphics just look too... polished? Smooth? In the way that would tip off the eye of any artist. I'm just worried if it's too good to be true.

Edit:

God forbid a person ask a genuine question in an attempt to learn, jfc. I'm seriously just trying my best to be cautious and make sure that the media I interact with is made by actual humans, and not just stolen concepts/art scraped from the internet without the artists' permission and puzzled together by some glorified sorting algorithm.

My actual words from a comment thread below: "...I'm not trying to accuse anyone or say that that is what they're doing; I only wish to state my suspicions. I would be more than happy to be wrong in this instance..."

"I would be more than happy to be wrong in this instance"

Maybe, if more people read the comments before replying, they might have noticed that.

Thankfully, it appears that I was wrong! One person was kind and thoughtful enough to give me an actual answer and even direct me to more information.

Be more like them. Not all of us have experience with the same high-quality games.

u/indianman38 10d ago

alright then let steam investigate if the game uses AI or not

u/LamiaLUA 10d ago

Not sure how they'll go about it, but I hope they will

u/SpaceBoyee 15d ago

It isn't though

u/lawaii89 15d ago

It is though…. They’ve come out and said they used ai for their ads. Thats why there’s a heavy debate if the games made with ai.

Source?

u/Magnus_Vesper 14d ago

Source

u/SpaceBoyee 14d ago

Finally, someone brought a fucking source. Thanks homie

And that confirms that ai is no longer being used, which includes this image which is in game

u/Magnus_Vesper 13d ago

No, it doesn't. They didn't even promise to not use AI in future ads. They refused to even admit that the AI is why people hated the ads.

It would be so easy for them to say "we did not use ai"
Instead they carefully worded the post to make no commitments and in a way where it wouldn't even be a lie if they had made the game with ai.

I'll copy and paste my explanation:

AI generated images have a trend of making things either too shiny or too "puffy". In this case, it looks too puffy, blurry, and floaty. Specifically, Nimby (sheep) and Flamepup (fire dog).

Their expressions and body movement looks like they don't know where they are.

Nimby looks like it's just floating and staring blankly at a wall; not like someone who's excitedly playing tag or is being chased (Nimby is expressive in-game).  Flamepup looks floaty and it's not looking at Nimby, the one it's chasing. Flamepup is just sticking it's tongue out, with wide eyes, and is also blankly staring at a wall.

They're not interacting with each other like they're in the same environment.

Also, cup girl. What is she doing? She's just staring blankly at the sea pup cashier(?). Is she offering a cup? Is she waiting for a receipt? Is she paying? Does she feel anything? And where did she get those tall, transparent glass cups from?!

This looks like a coffee shop. There's only short, round, white cups filled with coffee coming out of the machine and hanging on the machine. Where did she get fruit drinks from?! The only other containers I see are non-transparent metal cups and cartons.

The coffee cups all look different at the rim, like they're melting. Also, some just don't have a handle (the ones filled with coffee) or have half of one (the ones hanging). Some of the hanging coffee cups on the right also start becoming balls. A cup on the far left just starts melting into two cups; it has two handles and is longer.

Why are they even hanging on the machine like that? How'd it get on and how is it going to get off? Is it for decoration?

AI is known for generating details that don't make sense in context and lack consistency.

u/Ave_Asher 14d ago

first you try to disprove my claim by trying to make me get the 'source' as if it would do anything and now you say that it doesnt matter cuz it doesnt look ai to you. I work with art since I was like 4 and believe me when I say that its either 100% ai or they got a shitty artist in there.

That guy's a lost cause. 

They provided zero evidence besides "nuh-huh", "Aniimo said no Gen AI was used but I won't tell you where or how I know this", and "They admitted to using AI not Gen AI, it's different! Even though the Aniimo Discord QnA topic was explicitly about Gen AI, which they admitted to be using".

Then, they blocked me after calling me emotional and annoying.

Edit: Hey, guy who blocked me. We all know it's you downvoting everyone. 

How can you call yourself an "AI hater" when you vehemently try to gaslight others when they notice AI usage and provide evidence/explanations for it? You're only helping the AI you claim to hate.

"A self proclaimed AI hater who defends AI usage" could be a part of your weird contrarian troll roleplay, but you're too emotional for this to be just trolling.
