This accusation and evidence is so flimsy and immaterial. These don’t look like ai generated images. They don’t have closed composition, they are off center, and the text looks good. They look like distant lod 3d models or maybe some concept art.
I don’t know if you and I looked at the same images. Other than the text, all of the images have a lot of hallmarks of AI. The car is asymmetrical in almost every aspect, the bridge has a lot of random artifacts where support cables would be, the skyscrapers are just nonsensical all over the place. To me, they look like a ton of AI slop. They might just be placeholder art, but still shitty to use AI generated images
I’m getting ready for work, so only have time to do one image, but this is pretty clearly AI generated. The other image is not quite as egregious, but if you take more than a passing glance at the car in the billboard ad, it is pretty obviously AI as well.
none of these are particularly strong indicators that the art is ai… they feel more like stylistic choices. nintendo just like, uses a cartoonish & unrealistic styling?? i could 100% see this being generated or drawn. that’s like, the point of generative image tech…
regardless, why do you care? we’re sitting here debating whether or not the art is generated ffs; it is clearly good enough to pass as human art regardless of your subjective opinions
are you guys scared the spoopy ai is gonna jump out and get you or something?? i like, seriously don’t get the hysterics here beyond weird moral posturing.
AI art looks terrible, is almost always trained on stolen art, and is typically environmentally unsound. There are genuinely good uses for AI, art is not one of them.
We are talking about this specifically because there is reason enough to doubt Nintendo saying they didn’t use it. Nintendo may have used their own assets to train any alleged AI, buy them shutting down the conversation means we will never know.
That is probably why they are all differnt sizes and the flag part is different (or non existent) in each one.
The images might be based off in game assets, but if those are not AI then the artist certainly has a style that mimics AI art. I don’t think that is the case, though
I just looked at the images in the article and I agree. I would hope they were placeholder, but that bridge especially has so many weird artifacts it almost looks like they used an older model to generate it
yeah i edited the headline because even that was kinda clickbaity for what essentially amounts to Nintendo saying “no”. But at least good to know Nintendo isn’t buying into the AI hypetrain?

All the images are based on actual models in the games.
Seems they painted over the 3D models, it’s clearly not AI if you longer than 5 seconds at it.

“Random” artifacts that you can drive past in the actual game? Game is filled with these things to trick or grind over.

Agree, those look A LOT like AI.
Did you mean “other than text?”

Yes, sorry, other than the text

I think that ‘no’ is likely a lie. Take a look at the images posted in the article. Pretty clearly AI imo
Yeah, those do look extremely similar to such I’ve pulled out of mid journey.
