An AI-powered TikTok account behind Fruit Love Island series is already the fastest-growing ever, gaining 3M+ followers in 9 days since launching on March 13th. It has videos hitting tens of millions of views within hours and a rapidly growing fandom.

The lie behind claiming “AI content was only used for placeholder assets” is that any experienced dev knows it’s bad practice to use placeholders that are not obvious. you need the greybox or checkered texture so it stands out & you know at a glance that it needs replacing.

There is literally no reason this doesn’t exist anymore aside from collective personal preferences. You can’t blame inequality or racism or crime or immigration or literally anything else y’all bang on about on here. People just stopped wanting to go to the mall.

I'm starting to get sick of Jensen a little bit. He's been talking a bit of nonsense lately. It's in his best interests to keep selling the shovels for AI. We keep hearing about all of the new jobs AI will create, where are they?

He explains how they made the sound design for Halo 3 and its pretty interesting

House of the Dragon really thought we wouldn't notice😨😱

We would like to address questions regarding the use of AI in Crimson Desert. During development, some 2D visual props were created as part of early-stage iteration using experimental AI generative tools. These assets helped us rapidly explore tone and atmosphere in the earlier phases of production. However, our intention has always been for any such assets to be replaced, following final work and review by our art and development teams, with work that aligned with our quality standards and creative direction. Following reports from our community, we have identified that some of these assets were unintentionally included in the final release. This is not in line with our internal standards, and we take full responsibility for it. We also acknowledge that we should have clearly disclosed our use of AI. While these tools were primarily used during early production, with the expectation that these assets would be replaced prior to release, we recognize that this does not excuse the lack of transparency. We sincerely apologize for these oversights. We are currently conducting a comprehensive audit of all in-game assets and are taking steps to replace any affected content. Updated assets will be rolled out in upcoming patches. In parallel, we are reviewing and strengthening our internal processes to ensure greater transparency and consistency in how we communicate with players moving forward.
