It's not that they're using AI it's that they're lying about it and desperately trying to win back the hearts of a few losers who probably never cared about the actual game in the first place. Normal people don't give a shit about shit like this, but these guys are being faggots by playing into exactly what the mob wants, it's like apologizing for racism. The second you go, "yeah I did it and I don't give a fuck lol", all the wind in their sails is gone, at that point there's absolutely nothing they can do to you. Plenty of streamers, youtubers, let's players, etc still shill, promote and play stuff with AI slop in it, they don't care, they're still gonna play shit like Liar's Bar and the devs are still going to get rich regardless of how many trannies screech and whine about it on shitter.
