That is the sort of defense the accusers are hoping you make too as it legitimizes the separation and othering.

Time was spent with generation and placement and then eventually replacement. There are also premade asset packs for this exact thing if you don't want to worry about making your own.

The assets you're describing were placeholders and removed. But, again more to the point, what was the gain? They ended up not using them anyway months before the backlash happened. x.com/nyanomancer/...

I'd say they got bigger problems if people will accept it or not if they're relying on those things at all. Using genAI to make a BUDGET??

Great interview and thank you for sharing additional context, wish we could have gotten his perspective on the ethicacy of how these models are often trained off artists work without permission, credit, or compensation. Would be curious how he views that side of it.

My pick would be the Looking Glass Knight. Have him either summon clones of the players, summon actual players, or if he has a super form have him summon actual mirror versions of other bosses.

Me: I want more Suikoden

The World: Free to Play Gacha game.

Any news on the joysticks? Should I be expecting another console generation of stick drift 😩
