1047 has been slowly ramping up in use of ai art. It started with the comic app from a few months ago, the 4th/most recent comic was entirely ai and it was so sad seeing slop instead of the beautiful art style of the previous comics.

Although the comics are no longer considered canon after the recent Reddit AMA, it’s still official art. They’ve boasted about having many talented artists from multiple different backgrounds but for some reason stray away from using their skills when making anything art related outside of splitgate itself, but who knows when they do what cod did and start putting it into the actual game.

A few minutes ago in the official discord server, many people were discussing why it’s wrong to use ai art, i dont think I saw anyone arguing about the topic, only expressing their annoyance with it. Everyone was generally in agreement that it shouldn’t be anywhere near the game.

Despite this, multiple people were muted for supposedly arguing when that obviously wasn’t the case, being shut down and silenced for voicing an opinion on the company isn’t right.

We all love this game and only want the best for it, cutting corners and putting less effort into things more and more by using ai is the worst direction to go.

Hi this is 100% false. First off, the art in the comic was outsourced by a few comic book artists that we contracted, not us (we don’t have comic book artists in house). If it’s AI (which I don’t think it is), then we were scammed by those artists and lied to.

Either way, we aren’t using AI and the comic books are discontinued regardless.
