We don't use GenAI in The Abbess Garden either and I agree very much with Xalavier here. There is a crazy pressure to do so but it is not normal and we should not give up. Yes, perfectly ethical work is not possible in this world. But GenAI is so low it's the floor. We can do better.
We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

I'm very proud to announce we got our very first badge of honour: "totalitarian leftist propaganda"! 🎉(because there is a queer romance in The Abbess Garden)
