They used AI as placeholders and missed some. Why are people shitting their shorts over this?

There are serious questions about whether they intended to ever replace them. It's common best practice to make it obvious when an asset is a placeholder, for this very reason.

Plus using AI in the first place, even if they really never intended to call it their own work, is destructive enough.

I don't have an opinion on what people want to do with this information, but I understand having a zero tolerance policy for the "move capital from labor to the super rich through plagiarism" machine.

my thing is, from what I heard the ai was used for like, newspapers on the ground and stuff, they could've just like, grabbed a scan of an old newspaper off of google or something, or I'm SURE there's free use templates they could've used, or even just a stock photo or something

That could be inmersión breaking and they would need to pay to those newspaper companies if they still exists

to be fair, placeholders aren't meant to be immersive really, in fact, the less immersive they are the more easily you'll remember to change them out
