The main issues with this mod for me are:I think some people do care and others don't.
For me, the objections are when things are made as slop and/or when people are using other people's work and assets without permission. I care less over the matter of if AI was used in general, as not all AI use is automaticslly slop.
When used correctly and as an aide it can be helpful, when it's used to just create stuff you can't be bothered to learn or do yourself it quickly becomes slop.
I hope the OP does what @TheAdmiester has requested in relation to Spec II or they speak with @TheAdmiester directly and obtain permission to use his work. Without that, it doesn't matter if it's slop or not.
- Fundamentally the entire thing is AI. The trailer, event images, code, and even the author's posts are AI. People defending the use of them as placeholders is a lame excuse because clearly they were intended to be final - it takes 3 seconds to make a big bright box with "PLACEHOLDER" in the middle, and they only pivoted once called out. The author's posts might be slightly excusable under terms of translation but they strike me as "write me a response apologising to this user" rather than writing their own and translating it, which also irks me.
- The author did reach out to me via DM but as far as I can tell this has only resulted in Spec II being removed from the mod's name. This wasn't even what I asked for - at the end of the day I don't own the Spec II name and if someone wants to use that for a GT PSP mod then so be it - but I don't believe any of the events have been removed, which is the part I did object to.
