  6. This really gets hilarious.
    Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 loses its Indie Game Award because of placeholder assets.

    »Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 launched with what some suspected to be AI-generated textures that, as it clarified to El País, were then replaced with custom assets in a swift patch five days after release.«

    Not long ago this would've just been low quality placeholder textures.

    Gen AI is terrible in many cases, but to make placeholder assets, so people can concentrate on the stuff they want to achieve, is nothing I would criticize.

    Being against something only because you are against it, is definitely helping…
