Hmm... This does raise some redflags but AI alone doesn't bother me if the team is fully staffed. I think a lot of people have very niave/bias relationships with this topic whilst thriving on an ecosystem built off machine efficiencies that have displaced labour for over a century now.
Alluding the obvious examples like factories, even growing up in film production people used to draw around every live action frame to rotoscope actors and objects out of scenes. For well over a decade tools have been doing that job way more effectively, meaning that there was way less need for manual labour in that field. No backlash because it was just "software" and "algorithms" not "AI"... It made sense and made CGI quicker and cheaper to produce. Even something as simple as spelling/grammar tools takes man hours away from what would be someones job.
I am apprehensive about generative AI's use and have an especial appreciation for any companies that outright reject it, but at the same time coders use it to speed up code and reduce repetitive tasks, artist use it for generic texture work instead of constantly searching for the perfect generic stock images. All the meanwhile we know that the costs of many games is simply not sustainable, so speeding up the creation proccess in creative roles isn't always a bad thing, or to be conflated with entire pieces of work being generated by AI.
Ultimately I don't know how it was used here.
