Opponents of AI immediately decided they were looking at a soulless AI-made creation.
Amid the wave of hatred toward products created with the help of artificial intelligence, one enthusiast decided to play a prank.
itsoverbecky took footage of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 gameplay and then posted it online, passing it off as an AI-generated game:
Just made my first video game using Google\'s Genie 3. Prompt: \"A Frenchwoman must climb through a world that defies logic — objects are flying everywhere.\" Is this the end of the gaming industry?
Some immediately guessed that itsoverbecky had decided to troll anti-AI activists:
Are you just trying to diminish Expedition 33, or do you want to see how many AI opponents will call Expedition 33 \"AI slop\" because they do not understand what you are actually doing?
However, not all commenters understood the idea and from the very first frame were convinced they were looking at an AI video.
They criticized the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 gameplay footage — what was shown was called \"neural slop\" and \"trash\"; they also reminded everyone that something created by AI \"has no soul\", and congratulated itsoverbecky for \"having achieved nothing in life\".
