    What are the odds that this wasn’t all immediately added to AI training data?

    Because people weren’t complaining about the world ending with “asset flip” games for a decade?

    I hate the emojis being used in headings and descriptions, that screams AI itself to me. I know it likely isn't in this case, but ughh.. that's like one of the most obvious signs.

    So it still gets something else to do the work for you without paying for it?

    You're paying for it. This pack costs money.

    And even if it was free, the problem with AI isn't that you're not paying for it. It's that you are ripping off artists without their consent. All artists that are in this asset pack consented to their work being used.

    My comment got mixed results. It was a joke comment, but at least half the people took it seriously.
