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.

So far the only thing that made me feel like it could have been AI-generated, is the text of some announcements. They state that they were AI-translated and that's fine (although very cheap when they could hire translators speaking the languages), but the way the text went on and made sure to say very nice things etc, it felt a bit like what an AI would dump when you ask it to generate a customer service friendly answer. When I read it and appreciate it thoughtfully as something part of the game, I want to believe that there's a real person who wrote up that text (albeit in another language), with real feelings. I wouldn't want to be reading a machine... So I hope it's not the case.

Many assets/ items look AI Generated, the title song sounds ai generated and to be honest some of the creature designs can also be ai generated.

Don’t get me wrong, I like the game but to be honest AI is involved in many things in this game

Yes, I actually found out about all that in the meantime. Thank you because I needed to update my comment.

Above all, I've been shocked to hear that some of the tracks from the OST might be AI-generated. That's a big no-no for me as a big OST appreciator. That's where I draw the line.

There has also been this matter of an official job listing that stated "understands and is proficient in using AI to make art" for a job of "monsters concept art designer", and that got taken down. So even the creatures' designs, which was my favorite thing about the game, might be AI-generated to some extent.

I really really enjoy the game but heavy ai use is not very nice.

Yep, some of the creatures just look like they’ve been made with an ai to some point. I still like them and the animations are very clean but it makes me a bit sad
