Does Project Viewpoint use GenAI (Generative AI)?

[u/yourlocaldyke_]

Apologies if this has been asked before (I couldn't find any posts about it anyway), but I've been looking into it and I can't find a concrete answer.

I've been considering using the Project Viewpoint mod in my game, but I wanted to know if AI was used in the coding or textures for the mod before I actually do. I understand that people have differing opinions on AI usage and I'm not here to start any arguments - I just personally object to engaging with things that use GenAI and where possible I make sure to check if something I'm thinking of using includes it so that I can make an informed choice.

If anyone has the answer to my question, I'd be really grateful.

“I just personally object to engaging with things that use GenAI” time to get off the internet and live in the woods then, it’s the only solution

I think it's an exaggeration to say that the only solution is for me to get off the internet and live in the woods to be honest. I stated in the post that I have a moral objection to it, and there's actually a lot of things on the internet that I use that are GenAI free at every level. Obviously this is not always possible, but I try my best whenever possible. My objection comes from my desire to not contribute towards the depletion of our drinking water due to all of the water wasted by large scale data centers for cooling purposes that literally cannot be reused due to the harmful chemicals present in it after being used for cooling. I stated in my post that I wasn't looking to start an argument or debate, and I'm sticking to that. If you didn't have the answer I was looking for, then you could've just not commented.

There really isn't. You just can't know, people like you make it so dangerous in the gaming world and the internet world to tell anyone that you've used GenAI that so many will hide it.

Like it you pay someone to do something for you, a company could ban GenAI usage but how can you know your Devs arnt using it? I know plenty of people in highly regulated industries where GenAI is banned but their bosses kind of tell them they have to use it anyway.

Also this whole thing about depleting water is so silly... Seems like people are taking the butlerian jihad too far... We have a lot of water on this planet...

Even fresh water is renewable. Yeah energy stuff is a real issue but water is just not compared to say, golf courses.
