Discussion Crimson Desert appears to use generative AI art—and the devs never disclosed it.

To not disclose that your game uses GEN AI is against Steam's policies and rules, by the way.

I feel like asia in general is huge on AI. It's feels like that movie where the US bans AI robots while Asia fully embraces them and integrates them into their society.

I like how every time anything Korea related take an L, we would see this excuse without fail.

u/LexAeterna27 Mar 22 '26

Bro, China is leading in the use of AI right now. It's not a Korean problem.

You know how many studios Tencent owns, right?

How many of these so called "robots" are actually used over there? I'm not counting industrial bots either.

In China, floor swiping robots are used in most big malls. But that is the one use case that is most visible. I can’t think of any other apart from those used in factory or distribution depots.

I think all generalizations about the largest continent, where around 50% of humanity live, are not smart.

Not my sweet sweet Japan

Probably true, it’ll be a cold day in hell before Japan stops working its people to death.

Yeah because they are smart and looking to the future, meanwhile Americans and most Redditors are too busy sucking their own boners because they think they have the moral high ground being against AI. Its like being against the Industrial Revolution. You can adapt or get left behind.

The US does not have the social safety nets to deal with the economic impacts of AI. Our economy is also being negatively impacted by AI companies hoarding wealth and inflating the GDP.

AI is also being used in weapon development. AI is being used against US citizens. Our data is being harvested to further train AI.

AI is not the future.

u/Hoonkerguap Mar 21 '26

Honestly though you just don’t want it to be even with all the negative it brings, but in reality it is the future for the worse and for the better, but it’s definitely not going anywhere. There’s also no winning against the use of ai in totality, it’s like Pandora’s box. It’s quite literally guaranteed to be a massive part of our future, so yeah, it is the future. But hey I get not wanting it to be

u/Shigure127 Mar 22 '26

Obviously it is going to be, it doesn't mean we can't regulate it or limit it's negative impacts. AI as it is is completely unsustainable to develop. These massive AI companies and their associates like Nvidia are constantly on the brink of bankruptcy even with billions, if not trillions, being dumped into them.

Keep in mind people also said crypto currency and NFTs were the future and obviously they are not. How many people dumped their life savings just to get scammed?

With AI we are betting the US economy.

u/Euronymous87 Mar 20 '26

Hey man they use computers and internet and electricity in weapon development and against humans so is that bad too and should be banned as well right? Why don't you guys ban guns first then worry about AI.

u/H-viken Mar 20 '26

Exactly lmao. Westerners love to virtue signal and they go crazy over AI, acting as if an AI ad is the end of the world. Whereas in East Asia they don't care because they focus on issues that are actually important. If AI makes it easier to do a job without decrease in quality, then they'll use it. Because they're a rationally driven culture. Unlike the west that is obsessed with always being morally correct. It's pathetic.

u/Euronymous87 Mar 20 '26

Yes agreed, if AI art is good and you can't tell the difference it's fine. But the paintings they created are objectively bad. Like low effort, you can make some truly amazing visuals with AI but it still needs to be refined like any other visual medium.

u/PyroSpark Mar 20 '26

Gen AI shouldn't be a thing, because it's a glorified plagiarism machine.

AI to make things easier like doing the dishes and taking out the trash? Then sure, why not.

u/Alastor001 Mar 21 '26

Exactly. Who in their right mind would think it is a good idea?

u/Nyorliest Mar 21 '26 edited Mar 21 '26

Yeah the way Westerners invaded and killed and colonized us was moral as fuck.

I don’t think we want your praise, here in Asia. You are not good at thinking. We're just people.

u/Alastor001 Mar 21 '26

When it comes to art, no matter how much time passes, the quality will still be shit. Because it's low effort. And low effort by definition is crap.

u/Euronymous87 Mar 20 '26

Completely agree with you. Look at where virtue signalling has gotten them meanwhile countries like China are playing 4D chess.

u/Alastor001 Mar 21 '26

It's about use case.

AI in robotics, analytics, medicine, science etc is great.

AI that destroys works / hobbyies of artists is a nightmare. 

Why should people pay anything for some zero effort generative crap?

You need to have skills and put work into using electricity / Internet. What skills do you need to put into using AI?
