I don’t think it’s unfair to give them a little benefit of the doubt on the art thing. The only thing they dropped the ball on was not trying to check it before release. However, if this is an artist they’ve used before there’s a level of trust that they’d naturally have with them that led them to not checking. The response didn’t read as disingenuous to me. It read as them saying “to the best of our knowledge, ai wasn’t used. We’ve taken it down and contacted the artist to get to the bottom of this.” The singular employee speaking out is just a symptom of them being an indie company. They don’t have the media training larger organizations do, and likely was just aware that they had commissioned an artist to do it so clearly it wasn’t ai. All in all I agree with your stance that AI art shouldn’t be used, and that they responded rapidly to this. Love the vids and taking the time to address misinfo that was out there. Favorite zomboid channel! 🫶

This was truly strenuous
Imagine pushing someone 10 times and having pain all over your body 😂
