Nope. It won’t be used at all for any products. What I’m talking about there is where the merch is placed in a scene for like listing on a store. Ideally you can take an original photo (like this one > https://terraria.shop/cdn/shop/products/unknown.png?v=1713972823) - sometimes that isn’t possible. Then you are stuck with stock art - and a lot of stock art galleries don’t even list what is AI generated or not even nowadays. Thus that distinction - and we wanted to be up front there based on those pragmatic factors. We just don’t want AI touching the products themselves - at all.

Usually those backgrounds are either photos or stock photos. Sometimes it is feasible to take things out and shoot your own photos.

Other times stock photo backgrounds may work.

Even with stock art, the use of AI to generate the backgrounds is so prevalent… we just don’t see that as close to as big of an issue as with the product itself. Its just sometimes not very practical to find or take that “perfect background photo”.

We want real artists working on our stuff and we are VERY supportive of our artist community being a part of that - both with stuff we do ourselves and products generated by our partners.

Hope that makes sense. :)

Figured it would be easier to consolidate the discussion moving forward to that thread.

Thanks for the heads up!

Hello everyone!

We have seen the threads from yesterday regarding the potential use of AI in the generation of the Flying Dutchman shirt from September. We wanted to go ahead and share what we have uncovered and the path forward. Happy to answer any questions that you may have.

First off, thanks to everyone involved in getting this heads-up to us. We love that our community has standards that match our own and that you are proactive in keeping those standards.

As to the shirt in question, we checked into this immediately last night when we saw these threads. We feel like we have gotten to the bottom of things and wanted to share that information as well as next steps moving forward.

• This shirt was put together by a new freelance designer engaged by one of our partners, due to our normal folks being tied up on other projects. While we didn't know it was AI assisted at the time, we have since confirmed that - while elements of the design are ...

I agree that summon items shouldn’t really be using mana, and if we remove the mana cost we’d want to come up with some summoner unique prefixes for sure.

We’ll see what we can do

Love it! Your kid has good taste

This is devilishly genius

Well, that would have been a fun collab to do... wish they had contacted us or something. We enjoy a good beer, after all... is it any good? Untappd ratings are quite high and now I am equally curious.

You wouldn’t want to

Hahahahahahahahaha

Oh my goodness I freaking love it!!! Thank you 💚

Pay no attention to the ramblings of mad men on Twitter

You’re gonna have to take the L bro
