Maybe they did, maybe they didn't but...

Get used to it bozo. Those AI avatars are better than the skulls and lions some "artists" was pumping out as avatars that flooded the PS Store during the PS4 gen.
 
I'm having a difficult time understanding why AI generated avatar images are a problem.
They are not. Just ppl afraid to be replaced by AI. If you are an good and creative artist, you dont have any reasons to fear AI. But there are alot of ppl in the idustry pumping out slop worse than AI slop.
 
What offended me the most is the low energy effort. They typed "Fire Mage" and called it a day, the titles are literally the prompt.
Give it five minutes and you can get something passable IMO.

If I put this one for publication I would go in and touch up the forehead gem and manually draw a gold diadem around it.

Time to start recruiting a prompt engineer /s
 
So is this a new trend? Complain about companies using AI now? lmao
Yes. AI slop sucks. It is lazy and prone to artistic mistakes. but it's not like it's in a game in this case so does anybody actually care? This is just a free advent calendar of avatars. So their possible laziness is not monitised either. It's just for some free crap.

They're not even sure if AI was used, they base it purely on the cyberpunk pic having japanese characters that don't mean anything. Which is a mistake even human artists love to do with Japanese and Chinese tattoos so who actually knows...or cares.
 
Criminal Investigations Should Be Launched Against Sony (among others).

Eh, this is honestly the ideal use-case for AI slop images.

Just make them free marketing like people use them for youtube thumbnails. Now, if they expect me to pay for this stuff...good luck.
