Crimson Desert developer Pearl Abyss says sorry as it admits some AI-generated assets slipped through into the final release of the open-world RPG, all without the team initially acknowledging that it used AI tools during development in the first place, as it promises that "updated assets will be rolled out in upcoming patches."
It didn't take very long after Crimson Desert's launch for players to notice that certain paintings found in the game look a bit… off. One example that went viral after being shared on Reddit after its poster alleged it was AI-generated is frankly difficult to even describe – it shows a crowd of people and horses, but where the humans end and their loyal steeds begin is another matter entirely. You could argue that maybe it's actually a rough painting of a group of centaurs, if not for the fact that they all appear to have between three and five extremely distorted legs, with not one discernible face between them.
