Ah, it turns out the eyebrows raised by suspiciously AI generated-looking art found throughout Crimson Desert weren’t wrong in their lanate liftage. Developers Pearl Abyss have aplogised for failing to disclose their use of asseets made using “experimental AI generative tools”, claiming that these were just mockups created early in production and were never supposed to make into the final release version of the game.
It’s interesting to see how AI art has sparked such discussions in the gaming community. It’s always a challenge to balance innovation with authenticity. Looking forward to seeing how Pearl Abyss handles this situation moving forward!
