This obviously isn't true given NetEase has openly used GenAI in its games and announced GenAI related features as recently as this month.
Statement from NetEase: “The situation described did not occur, and we have not published any related policies.”

If i had to guess, this is specific to the Suda51 game and likely related to its usage in creating in-game assets.
As an aside, there's a tweet on this with 50k likes on the other site and NetEase's statement is basically "Stop celebrating, we're not doing that"
