Long story short he wants to use AI. He already has for concept art and ChatGPT generated fantasy language. I wrote an account with the hope that this could spread to the right people.

![Following these discussions, I asked Yano if Mega Crit has a firm policy set in place against generative AI, as well as if the team uses AI in any other capacity. Yano explained that while he is against generative AI, he understands the usefulness of AI in other areas of game development and isn’t firmly anti-AI. That said, he suspects that most of the developers on the team don’t use it that often.
“Some of our programmers use AI for code reviews–it’s like a glorified spell checker. I sometimes use it as a slightly more involved thesaurus. But we don’t use generative AI,” Yano reiterated. “I think there’s a very different mentality, right? [When] you write code, you’re just trying to write code in the best way you can to achieve the objective that you want. There’s an end goal that’s definable. Art is not like that. It’s an expression.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bfmlb2jbmqbki3tyupxenxhj/bafkreibat3yornfwovzzj5zbqasxlpqigk6gfx3wl6dfcc7wtrctlgn2t4)
