Another day, another spot of generative AI drama, this one involving a promo image for the League of Legends-based anime Arcane. The image, which showed up as a thumbnail in the streaming app, was taken down by Netflix after fans called out some hinkiness that pretty clearly pointed the finger at work done by a machine.
A screenshot was initially shared on X by eggbertith, who noticed some strangeness in Jinx's hand in a banner image. Suspicions of AI-generated content arose immediately and were effectively confirmed by Riot, which apparently wasn't any happier about it than the fans.
