⁽ᵏᵉ⁾Vin 🐻Please bring back Banjo-Kazooie!🐦 🦎🦇

Are you guys on a speed run to just destroy all goodwill you've built up over these past few years?

Truly amazing that their post yesterday is showing off concept art from an actual human, then today they post this AI slop with their characters hastily pasted onto it.

Such an insult to the artists still at the company, and such an insult to the people they just let go.

Do better, Playtonic.

Coward

They locked a post because people were pointing out the obvious AI slop in that post.
Pathetic.

They’re disabling quotes too
Damn this is sad

Playtonic needs a new social media team stat. They’re pretty bad at avoiding controversy and subsequently defending themselves.

I’m going to assume and hope the folks there who actually make the games have little to do with these instances.

Took me like 10 mins, couldn't be asked to do the fake png thing to make it look even more that kinda way, same effect, and even though it looks bad it's still better than AI slop. It was just whatever characters I could find quick images of

Playtonic, please. I know you can do better than AI slop

You shouldn't have used A.I. in the first place...

Except that isn't the same angle, and this isn't the same "Angel".

The armrests are notably not the same either, this still smells extremely fishy.

That doesn't explain why details got changed so far away from people in the image

That leaves two possibilities:

1. You're straight up lying and it is a fully AI generated image, or

2. You used the tool to also get rid of the watermarks throughout the whole image (continued)

If it's the second case, then you didn't pay for the stock image, and you do realize that Playtonic is a big enough target for Alamy to sue for doing that, right? Especially since it's supplemental to a commercial advertising campaign?

The snarky doubling down is not cute lol.

a cartoon character with the word sheesh written on it ALT: a cartoon character with the word sheesh written on it

Remove the AI trash and god damn use an actual picture of a train station, that was taken by a HUMAN with a CAMERA.

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Would it really have been so hard to grab a stock image of a tunnel?

Come on, I thought you were better than using AI.

If you're gonna use AI bullcrap, then maybe you can earn an artificial audience too, because this human ain't buying. This is Capital B-havior of Playtonic.

Are you fucking kidding me with this AI shit?

Also, what the hell is going on with the director of Victory Heat Rally deciding to go full MAGA and cratering what little remained of the player base there?

Stop using AI and use a picture of a real life Train station or some liminal Space!! SHEEEEESH..

You should be ashamed of yourselves posting such a low effort generative AI image with your mascot characters tacked on top of it.

You guys are making it really hard to endorse supporting you

Between the layoffs and now the use of AI, I think there needs to be some changes before you lose what good will you have left

Ditch the AI! :')

cmon guys, I look up to what you guys do
as if those big layoffs weren't bad enough, don't bring AI into this, it's a bad look

I get being curious about something, but the issue is that generative AI is a toxic tool and using it in any capacity normalizes its use. It harms artists and the enviornment.

Why not take the post down, and redo the image with an actual photo from an actual subway?

It’s a simple fix!

Please don’t double down, I know you can be better than this. ;;

Please get educated about the impact of AI tools; environmentally, creatively and socially
