Before electricity was invented, artists were able to find references just by looking at the world around them
We live in a technological world now, but that doesn't mean we get lazy. SEGA could have easily researched via previous Crazy Taxi games, google images, or even visited locations like they used to (e.g. Sonic Adventure)
Concept artists need work. Games need that human touch, in every aspect.
Whilst I'm glad no Gen AI seems to be in the final game, I'm incredibly disappointed that it was used at all. Mainly because I worry this is just the start for SEGA, and I really hope it isn't
