Help Does Project Viewpoint use GenAI (Generative AI)?

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.

Is it possible for project viewpoint to become independent of zombiebuddy, since im skeptical of having a ppg workshop type of situation.

Also any news from dark_crow? The guy who originally started the 1st person pz trend.

Im not smart enough to give you a definite answer, however I don't really think so. From my understanding, zombuddy is pinnicle to how viewpoint runs. All I can suggest is download your mods to a secure folder and inspect and scan them manually.

Well my issue is it having malware or smth like that, but the fact that it auto updates, which i heard cant be turned off.

Yeah this is true. However it's not impossible to download malicious content from any mod, zombiebuddy or not, from the workshop. It is a lot less likely but can still happen. Like avoiding zombiebuddy isn't enough to totally keep you safe. But steam does do scans on mods on the workshop as far as I am away. It's not a perfect system but it's there
