We reported yesterday that all-new remasters of Duke Nukem 1 & 2 were among the announcements made at Wednesday’s Evercade Showcase, but these titles have now been hit by controversy, and perhaps not for the reasons you might expect Duke Nukem titles to cause controversy! Blaze commissioned an artist who created AI Evercade Duke Nukem artwork to promote the remasters.
Blaze Entertainment initially trumpeted the artist Oskar Manuel as “award-winning,” but following a backlash on social media, Blaze Entertainment have issued a statement apologising for using the AI Evercade Duke Dukem artwork. Blaze Entertainment have also promised that said AI Evercade Duke Dukem artwork will be replaced.
You’d have thought we’d all have learned our lesson from the rise of Skynet, as first prophesied by James Cameron back in 1985!
AI is certainly a hot topic at the moment, so why not share your thoughts on AI in the comments? Do you even care if art is created using AI?
I think it looked quite good, but understand the worry of AI replacing human jobs as it progresses
I agree, as someone who writes “content” for the web, AI could well make my work redundant!
