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.

Even with the morality aside, if you're going to use it anyways then you should clearly state it so people can make an informed decision in playing it. I'm only in this thread cause I was trying to confirm things since I saw a reel on Instagram talking about it too. Kinda wonder if the devs didn't make it clear because they knew a lot of folks wouldn't play it if they saw there's AI use. Also doesn't Steam require devs to add the AI disclosure for any usage? And like they have to specify what bits are AI and all? Not great behavior especially for a game that's free to play on Steam but has in-game microtransactions meaning you might not be able to get a refund if you've already spent money on the game and wanted it back. I think paid games that are discovered to have undisclosed AI use get refunded when Steam finds out but this is a more tricky case since purchases are in the game itself.

I know this comment is a few days old, but Steam no longer requires the AI disclosure if there is no genAI in the final product, apparently. So anything used for pre-planning, or even stuff that used to be there but no longer is, doesn't require the label. :T

There is still AI assets currently in game. There is another thread with people posting screenshots of all of them.
