That would cause a lot of backlash, even if they did and would probably need to reverse it somehow considering how important the game will be for them.
Also I wonder how they are going to push AI in this, cause they definitely are going to, there have been talks of the game having it's own social media, maybe using bots to make posts on there?
They could allow the users to import liveries of say wallpapers or assets created using AI or otherwise into the Online part to say decorate and personalize their own safehouses, garages, cars, etc.
