Have you ever peered into the fantastical world of Magic: The Gathering only to discover that reality is stranger than fiction? Well, Wizards of the Coast, the minds behind the beloved game, found themselves in hot water after sneaking some sneaky AI-generated content into their marketing. Naughty, naughty!
It all started innocently enough with a promotional image for the upcoming Murders at Karlov Manor set. But eagle-eyed fans quickly noticed that the background art was suspect. Wizards initially denied the use of AI, but the truth eventually surfaced – revealing a brewing storm within the Magic community.
This revelation isn’t new. In the past, fans spotted more AI-generated shenanigans in a collectible Lara Croft card set and a Dungeons and Dragons sourcebook. Wizards has since taken a firm stance, pledging to ban AI images from its beloved Magic: The Gathering cards.
Despite their enchanting world of enchantments, Wizards of the Coast has learned the hard way that privacy is the best policy when it comes to disclosing the use of AI in their magical creations. Will they emerge from this magical mishap unscathed, or will the specter of AI continue to haunt their whimsical realms?
