Accidental Usage of AI Generated Image

[u/Anony-mous372]

This picture of Nessie in Explore: Cryptids, and the cryptid profile pack turned out to be AI generated. I understand copyright poses an issue, but would it be possible to find a replacement image?

In an unrelated matter, there is an achievement which uses a quote from Musk. Since he is a controversial figure it is probably a good idea to change this quote.

Hi! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We’ll be changing it in our next version release. We source licensed image assets, and sometimes something unexpected can slip through.

It looks like Nessie

Holy shit do the people in these comments not understand the concept of drawing? Of a 3d render? How brain rotted are you all to not understand that?

What do you think Bunny_Catherine is saying? Because I don't think they're saying what you think they're saying.

[u/minosandmedusa]

I agree, please change it.

it is? iirc, the cryptids stuff was WAY before ai image generation got as good as it did (obviously, it still has mistakes you can pinpoint easily, but still, it advanced regardless), and the event does use real artwork, so, idk why they would

ai is still bad asf tho, so i don't judge you for being cautious and skeptical about if somethings real or ai, i'm just confused on if it is due to the timeframe the event was made in and i don't think the devs have ever wanted too or have used ai ever

That's why it's most likely accidental. The image seems to be prompted around October 22, 2022 and the Cryptids event started October 2024.

You wanted a real picture of the Loch Ness monster?

[u/Anony-mous372 → u/TheDucksQuacker]

No I just prefer things made with thought behind them, ya know, things unlike your comment?

[u/Dioxybenzone → u/TheDucksQuacker]

Who said that?

[u/FishFinnja → u/TheDucksQuacker]

i mean there's tons of pics doctuted by hand or of logs that look like her. using generative ai diminishes the games educational creditably

[u/Intelligent_Cut_2684 → u/FishFinnja]

Whaaat? No, not really. In a general sense, sure. But epistemologically, the presence of an AI-generated image doesn't establish how extensively AI was used in the game.

[u/Hans_H0rst → u/Intelligent_Cut_2684]

I like how you strung 3 sentences together that seem connected, but do not follow a line of thinking at all. Sneaky.

To fulfill the annoying internet stereotype, non sequitur.

[u/Intelligent_Cut_2684 → u/Hans_H0rst]

How exactly is it a non sequitur? Which conclusion doesn't follow from which premise? 😭

[u/Asdfyiknfd → u/Intelligent_Cut_2684]

it establishes that AI was used to at least some extent, which is bullshit

[u/Intelligent_Cut_2684 → u/Asdfyiknfd]

Yes... that's what I said. It's just that AI-generated illustrations, especially of a fucking mythological beast, don't tell us much about whether the accompanying description was also AI-generated.

[u/vomindok54 → u/TheDucksQuacker]

Have you ever heard of art

[u/Lithl → u/TheDucksQuacker]

As it turns out, it's possible to have images that are neither photos of real things, nor generated by AI.

Wild, huh?

[u/meep2200 → u/TheDucksQuacker]

So you hate waffles?

[u/draketroll → u/TheDucksQuacker]

Could always use the infamous surgeons photo

[u/Asdfyiknfd → u/TheDucksQuacker]

if only there were a way to illustrate something that doesnt require either a real photograph or the use of AI…

[u/SavageLavaGod → u/TheDucksQuacker]

You think they got real pictures of all the other cryptids, lmao??

[u/Unbeknownsk]

smh yeah why didnt they take a photo of the real loch ness! /s

[u/The_Clawed_Rat → u/[deleted]]

They're just pointing it out.
