Nintendo responds to suggestion that AI-generated images used in Mario Kart World

This accusation and evidence is so flimsy and immaterial. These don't look like ai generated images. They don't have closed composition, they are off center, and the text looks good. They look like distant lod 3d models or maybe some concept art.
- I don't know if you and I looked at the same images. Other than the text, all of the images have a lot of hallmarks of AI. The car is asymmetrical in almost every aspect, the bridge has a lot of random artifacts where support cables would be, the skyscrapers are just nonsensical all over the place. To me, they look like a ton of AI slop. They might just be placeholder art, but still shitty to use AI generated images
  
  Did you mean “other than text?”
  I just looked at the images in the article and I agree. I would hope they were placeholder, but that bridge especially has so many weird artifacts it almost looks like they used an older model to generate it
  
  Agree, those look A LOT like AI.
  
  All the images are based on actual models in the games.
  Seems they painted over the 3D models, it's clearly not AI if you longer than 5 seconds at it.
- yeah i edited the headline because even that was kinda clickbaity for what essentially amounts to Nintendo saying "no". But at least good to know Nintendo isn't buying into the AI hypetrain?
  
  I think that 'no' is likely a lie. Take a look at the images posted in the article. Pretty clearly AI imo
