After a bumper year, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is ending on a bit of a sour note as we learned Sandfall Entertainment used some generative AI during development of the huge RPG. Director Guillaume Brioche has since clarified how the technology was utilized by the team.
"Everything in the game is human made," he tells YouTuber Sushi. "When AI first came out in 2022, we’d already started on the game. It was just a new tool, we tried it, and we didn’t like it at all, it felt wrong. We had originally used it as a placeholder for the textures we missed, but we took it out as soon as we found it."
