It shouldn't be used at any point in dev today, including placeholders/concepts. You can't apply 2026 technology and known ethical issues to shit from 3-5 years ago, long before any of this was obvious.

Seriously? You're going to demean yourself by going into bat for people who very obviously knew what they were doing by using generative AI and hoping people wouldn't notice, then lying about it because people were pissed?

Oh for sure, Im just saying "oh it was a placeholder and the immediately took it out because they decided it wasn't useful" falls apart when it made it to release

The devs behind Clair Obscur admitted to using gen ai, plus too many copycats causes mid a best over-saturation. The creator of Balatro didn't want the extra attention and awards, stating that other games deserve it more, plus it wouldn't be as unique if more people did that. Peak isn't original.

Expedition 33 doesn't count as Inde. And it used AI. Balatro is true peak Inde that I personally won't play because I suck at rougelites but I enjoy watching others play and break it

The game I've been working on for over 5 years is finally out!! I would be incredibly grateful if you could buy it and leave a review on Steam to help me pay the bills, although if you can only afford to share it I would be eternally grateful as well!!!! You won't regret it, this game is amazing
