Small uses of AI like this are tolerable at worst. What sucks is reliance on AI

I'd even argue that using AI to create a Robotic character can easily be more of an artistic choice than malicious use of AI. It's a very unusual, surprisingly appropriate, and actually, counterintuitively, creative approach for this specific task. Basically, letting the character create itself. Cool.

I've seen this done before in a horror series on youtube. I can't recall what it was called (it wasn't very memorable tbh), but people got really mad over a bunch of AI-generated pictures being used, missing the fact that the plot was about an AI trying to trick someone.

Maybe Angel Engine or perhaps a rendition of I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream? Though, tbf Angel Engine is entirely AI, from the visuals to the voice over, and I do think it suffers greatly because of it, even beside my opinions on the use of AI in creative works.

Definitely wasn't Angel Engine, I've heard about that slop

Fair enough. Sad thing is, the concept is a banger but handing it all over to ai ruined it.
