Ok, that screenshot is clarified to be just a big L, not an LJ. Anyway, this was elaborated on more by the producer, but was still kinda vague. He admitted the first disclosure was vague, but even what he added wasn't all super detailed lol. But he said the artists went to all the IRL locations and that AI was "part of the process" of the artists taking their own references and designs.
I really wish I knew what that meant. I also believe "genAI" is now losing its meaning. If they took a lot of photos, art drawings, etc, and then used some program to just consolidate everything into some generated image, yes, I am against that. If they took their photos and drawings and used some program that just adjusted colors or shading in some way, then that's more acceptable. That stuff was done before "AI", which is why I also think "AI" itself has lost its meaning, unless we are super pedantic.
Anyway, we'll see if more info comes out as to what exactly was done w/ AI in the game. I hope not a lot.
