There is a growing backlash against the use of AI across various industries, particularly in creative sectors that demand high levels of skill, effort, and years of practice—such as illustration, video graphics, filmmaking, and game development. Many professionals in these fields oppose AI, or at least insist that it should not replace human creators, viewing its output as a form of intellectual property theft. Even without AI, blatant plagiarism is seen as equally unacceptable. A recent example is the game 'Ebola Village,' which appears to be a direct imitation of Resident Evil, reportedly using AI-generated elements. What sparked even greater outrage among fans was the fact that PlayStation itself helped promote the game, further fueling the public's dissatisfaction
There is a growing backlash against the use of AI across various industries, particularly in creative sectors that demand high levels of skill, effort, and years of practice—such as illustration, video graphics, filmmaking, and game development. Many professionals in these fields oppose AI, or at least insist that it should not replace human creators, viewing its output as a form of intellectual property theft. Even without AI, blatant plagiarism is seen as equally unacceptable. A recent example is the game 'Ebola Village,' which appears to be a direct imitation of Resident Evil, reportedly using AI-generated elements. What sparked even greater outrage among fans was the fact that PlayStation itself helped promote the game, further fueling the public's dissatisfaction
Looking at the game’s trailers—whether you're watching it normally, upside down, or even scouting it from Mars—it’s blindingly obvious that this is a total rip-off. It’s a messy mix of Resident Evil 4, Village, 2, and 7. From the environments to the characters and the overall atmosphere, every single angle screams blatant imitation fueled by AI development. Even though Ebola Village already flopped and received scathing reviews on PC, the developers 'played dumb' and pushed for a console release anyway. What's worse is that PlayStation actually helped promote it, leading some to lash out, saying: 'PlayStation advertising a blatant, low-effort rip-off like this might just be a new all-time low.' That is a seriously brutal—but honest—take
If you’re wondering just how much AI was crammed into Ebola Village, even the promotional cover art was clearly AI-generated. As of this writing, the game’s promo video—released just a day ago—has garnered 3,757 likes compared to a staggering 7,827 dislikes, and that 'thumbs down' count is climbing by the minute. Fans are relentlessly slamming PlayStation for promoting a title that relies on AI and blatant plagiarism, with some even calling for Capcom to step in and file a lawsuit
For those who are curious or wish to support the use of AI in game development, Ebola Village is set to launch on PlayStation 5 this January 23rd. The PC version is currently priced at 349 Baht. But honestly, even if it were free, I wouldn't recommend supporting it. The more we back these kinds of projects, the more we invite a future full of AI-driven imitations. If the gaming community refuses to support them, these games will eventually disappear on their own. Don’t forget: AI should only ever be an assistant in specific cases; it should never be the core of the creative process. Doing so only devalues yourself and the work you're presenting. Just something to keep in mind
