AIUI there’s been some debate about AI used as a “placeholder” after Expedition 33 released with AI content that they claim wasn’t supposed to be in the final release.
“We are aware that many modern games development environments have AI powered tools built into them,” the developer disclosure page now reads. “Efficiency gains through the use of these tools is not the focus of this section. Instead, it is concerned with the use of AI in creating content that ships with your game, and is consumed by players. This includes content such as artwork, sound narrative, localisation, etc.”
