imo using ai tools like this is fine as long as it helps the devs (+ it's optional), and it'll get normalized over time anyway, same way AI coding tools went from "bad quality" to "cheating" to standard in just 3 years once people realized how much faster they get things done with it because unfortunately whether people wanna accept it or not, we (including game dev studios) either adapt to these tools or get left behind EVENTUALLY and there's a VERY high chance your favorite app, website or game was already assisted by AI, this isn't new.. studios across the industry (EA, Embark, NetEase, Ubisoft, Activision, etc..) already use AI tools, fortnite is just one of the first few being open about it & how exactly they use it

EPIC TALKS ABOUT FORTNITE's CONCEPT ART PROCESS (Skins, POIs, etc..) • Artists still start with original ideas & sketches in Photoshop, Blender, hand-drawing, etc.. • AI tools are used to iterate and test ideas faster • Examples shown include: different POI lighting, style swaps, meteor showers, colors, render passes, etc. • Artists fix mistakes, remove unwanted details, and keep creative control

this was the most random reskin of all time, no lore, nothing, they just dropped a reskin of an important lore character with no reason

getting called a larp for something i’ve been a fan of for YEARS
