The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is the latest in a long series of games to admit to using generative AI in the development process. In defense of developer Owlcat, at least it's being up front about it, even if people are still angry about its use of the divisive technology. Earlier this week, Crimson Desert developer Pearl Abyss apologized for AI assets "unintentionally included" in the game's final release. It's a tale as old as Midjourney, as games like The Alters and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 have also used the oops-it-wasn't-meant-to-ship excuse when caught. Ladies and gentleman, this is why placeholder assets are meant to stand out.
