If they used AI for some assets that completely explains why troons are bawling and trying to find ways to convince Nintendo to kill the game. I thought there was an unusual amount of troon rage that wasn't just based on white knighting for Nintendo's intellectual property rights.
I think that's the real complaint here. Starving Artist Troons don't want AI to have success because it displaces the minimal talent they have.
I don't think anyone actually cares about the IP issue (and I don't think there is one).
It's amusing seeing the kind of unsubstantiated claims being spread around by leftists on this, showing just how truly clueless they are about AI and tech. I've even seen people claiming that the devs "totally stole meshes, textures, and assets", despite the fact that it would take far more time and effort to do that than to make it all from scratch, given how low-detailed the art in Pokemon and Palworld actually is.
And of course it's all just an excuse to push their terrified fears about AI as it pertains to fields they tend to populate. Funny how leftists only now pretend to care about issues of automation as it pertains to jobs.
they're really trying to link the argument that if a copyrighted work is used in the source material of AI generation is therefore copyright infringement, but this argument is still very much in a legal gray zone. I think the courts will probably rule against that and claim that if the outcome is transformative enough, than it doesn't really matter, since it's effectively like using pictures as a reference for an artist.
Not only is it legally challenging to make a case, but it's damn near unenforceable or realistically detectable. There's almost no practical way they'll ever be able to guarantee any kind of effective copyright protection against its use in AI generation.
Sure, they might be able to target some larger companies who've been hoovering content up in droves, or they could try to slow down progress in the industry (and let the Chinese bank on it) but the average person can easily make and train their own LORA models for example just from home, with a basic gaming system.
There is fuck all these artists or anyone claiming to represent them are going to be able to do.
Why would troons care about AI usage?
You can use AI to easily and completely freely generate exactly the kind of art commissions their buddies try to charge $100 or more per piece for.
