Using AI to help in your workflow isn’t a bad thing - but using AI slop in a very meticulously-crafted art project (like Project Zomboid) has a very real effect. It cheapens the experience and the tone. It devalues the artistic intention behind the rest of the game. Worst of all for a game as good as Project Zomboid, it can scare away new potential players who have very legitimate concerns about the ethics of AI in art and games, and makes the game look like a cheap slop cash-grab to others.

this is hilarious to me. project zomboid, truly an artistic experience
