and likely also ai generated plotlines and other stuff, just maybe tidied up by humans.

I’m almost certain that crimson desert did something like that. Even though the game looks very good and has good content, everything just feels so… uninspired. The quests too you do to random people, like there was some smith that has broken his hammer and cant use it. When you turn in the wood for the hammer, he basically just goes “I can use my hammer again” and that is that. Everything else also feels kind of same about the game. Things are bad when even ubisoft games start looking like height of inspiration when compared to your game.
