Here is a specific rundown of the AI used in the game:
-One TV program that has two episodes, around 5min in length each (images and speech is AI, but written, edited and music composed by humans)
-One TV commercial 10sec in lenght
-Paintings on the house walls (same as in MSC)
-Food pictures/textures, around 12 separate pieces
-“Carbon fiber finish” texture, but this is definitely not important so it can be removed :D
-And then maybe half (in minutes) of the music on the radio, generated by AI and lyrics written by humans except for one instrumental song. These can be removed (apart from one song that is part of the game feature), but there is no replacement. Lets just say that without them, the radio experience is… rather interesting.
I have to say I am a bit sad that gen ai is in use here. However I’m pretty sure toplessgun is a solo dev team.
Hopefully they can replace the generated assets overtime.
Maybe someone that owns the rights to some Finnish music would allow them to use it in their game? Although the game is supposed to be set in the 90s and I’m not sure how hard it would be to source 90s era Finnish media rights.
What a shame, I was really excited for this game, I have over 1k hours in MSC, got my license before Steam even had an AI disclosure and had no clue about the hallway paintings. Im definitely not gonna be buying MWC or any other ai generated shovelware
Steam’s AI Generated Content Disclosure states:
And a post by the developer specifically stating where AI is used.

A quick look shows about 2.5 mil people bought My Summer Car, imo 0 excuse for not hiring a team to produce these things instead of using ai.
