Are the new stickers Ai generated

[Invertibrane]

I'm having trouble telling if the new update uses generative AI for the stickers you can place on you board. If they are AI i no longer want to support this game as AI is nothing but damaging to creators.

After looking closer, some of them are def AI and that's unfortunate and incredibly disappointing. Such as the broccoli guy that has 4 fingers on one hand and 6 fingers on the other hand. The fact I wasn't able to tell right away is scary.

I paid an artist directly for many of the stickers ( thank you https://x.com/art_deive ! ), but some were from a sticker pack I bought on the Unreal store. After buying the sticker pack I realized some were AI generated and I tried to zoom in and remove the ones I thought were, but may have missed some. I may go through again and zoom in farther to find one's a missed if that is important to people!

Thankyou that means alot to the community! I will continue to support this awesome game then

Thank you for understanding!

Appreciate the response to this. Looks like the sumo sticker is pretty suspect too -- his hands are real wack. I'd hate to see this game associated with gen AI junk

Hiya peeps, also noticed these eyesores and wanted to help single out a few more slop in amongst the legit stuff.

Dev, pls don't hate me for this but, pretty much EVERYTHING from the cow (after the grinning jester) right up to and including the flower image (before the "BLUNT WIZARD KNOWS NO RULES") is generated slop.

Most of them have serious visual defects (aside from maybe the cow/sheep and last bunny and kitten), but all of them exhibit that deep-fried crusty stink of heavy jpeg compression artifacting if you zoom in on them, even the cartoon-y ones, which is super telling when they're not even using that compression algorithm.

Compare that to the frickin sick work of your commissioned artist, and that's completely absent, even if you zoom in all the way to the clown's pores where it just starts getting blurry because of the image render resolution.

Why is it so hard for people to speak for themselves? It means a lot to you and whatever anti-AI train riders you hang out with. Not everyone is a creator boycotting AI because they're mad that somewhere among billions of images, a picture they made may have vaguely influenced a few pixels in a completely unrelated image that gets generated.

Of course, since most current game devs are pre-AI era creators, they're mostly on that anti-AI train with you. Looking forward to some day soon when that changes.

I don't see why you're playing this game instead of watching your AI generated slop youtube videos then

I could explain why it's so much worse than all that... but I get the feeling you wouldn't listen.

You clearly just intend to stir the pot and be inflammatory with your extremely intellectually disingenuous "understanding" of how AI works.
Either you're nothing but a troll or you're truly naive and lack any proper understanding as to how this technology works in the first place and of how it steals, but it's clear you've not partaken in much of any creative pursuits yourself (or any you cared to finish), otherwise you'd start to know why this isn't a pre- or post- thing. This is inherent to making any kind of art.
