It’s been what, a week?
Whenever a company retracts something by saying it was put there by mistake, it means they were too ashamed to admit they wanted it there in the first place. I’d respect them more if they simply admitted they wanted to make or save more money by doing the unpopular thing. At least that way they’re not insulting anyone’s intelligence.
It could be. But if it was a mistake, what are they going to say? That it was intentional? Companies have a lot of people and management often doesn’t always get a clear idea of who did what and how.
Then that’s the fault of management. They’re supposed to be responsible for their team. That’s why they get paid the big bucks!
They should take responsibility, apologize, and move on. Claiming it was a mistake is childish and insulting.

Sounds like they’re experimenting with AI for a variety of things and didn’t realize their customers would be so upset about it. Now that they know their base feels strongly (against) hopefully that will help guide their process. The whole point of offering intimate discord with devs by subscription is that the supporters get to help shape the vision and give direct feedback.
We’re really, really, really sorry we were caught and pinky promise never to do it again …
Convenient that it’s only a “mistake” after people start complaining.
The Discord post also didn’t rule out continued use of AI in generating art, as they justified its use in the context of GOG’s limited resources.
They might continue using AI and simply be more selective about the output.
Ok, so it was a mistake. So then why is it still on the page instead of replaced with the intended art work?
GOG. The for-profit company that’s soliciting donations under its “GOG Patrons” scheme.
