A lot of companies seem to be under the impression that we only care if gAI was used in the final product and using it for concept art/placeholder art is ok.
gAl is poison that should be nowhere near any creative process. Not a single asset. Not a single placeholder sign.
Give no inch.

From 2024. Apparently missed that the first time around. This just destroys my hype for Dark Heresy. If Rogue Trader was made without AI “helping” the concept art phase, there is zero reason to push it on to Dark Heresy development. I am gutted.

Weird that writers and artists are consistently acceptable losses when it comes to which battles to pick. Are you so gullible as to think that "placeholder text" and "moodboards" are where execs expect this to stop, or are they waiting for this shit to be 'good enough' to replace their workers?
this shit, despite its faults, is not going anywhere and people are going to have to pick their battles
Larian CEO Responds to Divinity Gen AI Backlash: 'We Are Neither Releasing a Game With Any AI Components, Nor Are We Looking at Trimming Down Teams to Replace Them With AI' - IGN

It hurts both livelihoods AND the potential creative solutions/discoveries lost for projects themselves.

Beyond what you’ve listed there, the specificity of the “reference” it generates easily removes at least a couple rounds of iterative design upfront that artists could be paid for.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

GMG is similar to Humble Bundle in that they work with devs and publishers to get the Steam Keys. (Unlike G2A, cough)

Seeing people in the comments saying that To a T was unfun and essentially that he deserves this if he can't make a good game.
Gamers, I don't know how else to say this, artists are not supposed to be punished with financial ruin for making imperfect art. That's such a fucked up idea you have

Keita Takahashi (Katamari, Wattam, Noby Noby Boy) has moved back to Japan, and says he may be forced to quit the games industry due to To a T underperforming.
He also says he'd love to work on Katamari again, and for someone to invest in his studio.
