[QUOTE="This Effin’ GM, post: 9222484, member: 6801323"] In what seems to be a never ending stream of controversies about Hasbro and WotC, Claims are now surfacing of Artificial Intelligence generated art being used to promote One D&D. Indestructoboy on Twitter and YouTube has shared his suspicions that the picture of the Dwarf fighter used in promotions for the upcoming rules launch is generated using AI. Twitter (Update: This has been removed. ) [URL]https://x.com/indestructoboy/status/1736740332769771977?s=46[/URL] YouTube (update: the video has been removed) [MEDIA=youtube]3vZ2P3g1Ltg[/MEDIA] Others are joining the conversation with accusations of their own. Twitter (Update: This has been removed. ) [URL unfurl="true"]https://x.com/thehypegoblin/status/1736747219418579163?s=46[/URL] Wotc faced a fair amount of criticism earlier this year with the discovery of AI modified art in their book, Glory of the Giants [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.enworld.org/threads/glory-of-the-giants-ai-enhanced-art.699127/[/URL] Personal opinion: I’m not sure about the veracity of these statements.
