Party Animals developer Recreate Games has apologized for an "AI video contest" it announced earlier this week that encouraged players to submit short films created with generative AI tools. It's not cancelling the contest, though—instead, it's opened a poll asking followers what it should do.
Recreate first announced the contest on May 13, telling followers that ideas that previously "could only exist in your head" can now "become reality" thanks to the power of AI. Submissions would be open until August 31, and winners would be eligible for "a share" of a $75,000 prize pool.
