Pearl Abyss said on X that &ldquo;following reports from our community, we have identified that some of these assets were unintentionally included in the final release.&rdquo; Now, the game&rsquo;s Steam page has an AI generated content disclosure, which says that, &ldquo;generative AI technology is used in a supplementary capacity during the creation of some 2D prop assets&rdquo; which are later replaced.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Moving forward, Pearl Abyss said it will conduct a &ldquo;comprehensive audit of all in-game assets and are taking steps to replace any affected content.&rdquo; The developer said that these updated assets will roll out in upcoming patches, and that the team would internally review how it communicates with its player base to provide more &ldquo;transparency and consistency.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"col-fullbleed mb-4 bg-marshmallow pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:invisible md:mb-0 md:h-0 md:overflow-hidden md:pb-0\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div class=\"flex\" id=\"_R_mgb7b4ilfaiv5tilbH1_\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-body mb-4 hidden pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:block\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div class=\"flex\" id=\"_R_16gb7b4ilfaiv5tilbH1_\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/12-weeks-jail-for-school-it-support-technician-who-took-upskirt-videos-of-teachers\/\" class=\"template-1\"><span class=\"cta\">News :<\/span><span class=\"postTitle\">&lt;div&gt;12 weeks' jail for school IT support technician who took upskirt videos of teachers&lt;\/div&gt;<\/span><\/a><\/div><p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Pearl Abyss isn&rsquo;t the only developer to fail to disclose the use of AI-generated assets in its games. Late last year, Sandfall Interactive was stripped of its Game of the Year and Debut Game awards from the Indie Game Awards for the use of generative AI in <em>Clair Obscur: Expedition 33<\/em> for placeholder textures that were mistakenly left in the game. Like Pearl Abyss, Arc Raiders&rsquo; developer Embark Studios is going back and replacing AI-generated material in its game after some backlash from its player base.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><sub>Crimson Desert developer apologizes and promises to replace AI-generated art<\/sub><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The developer behind the open-world RPG Crimson Desert has issued an official apology after players discovered several instances of AI-generated art in the game.
