THE CRUNCH
Insomniac Games has denied using generative AI tools after fans on social media pointed out a peculiar restroom sign in the upcoming Marvel's Wolverine game. The studio clarified that the odd text was a deliberate stylistic choice rather than an AI error.
The controversy began when eagle-eyed players noticed the unusual wording on a sign in the game's demo. The text was reportedly nonsensical, leading some to speculate that it was a glitch caused by an AI model.
Insomniac has now addressed the issue, stating that the sign was intentionally designed to look strange. The studio emphasised that no AI tools were used in the creation of the game's assets.
This incident highlights the growing scrutiny developers face regarding the use of AI in game development. As tools become more prevalent, players are increasingly quick to spot and question their use.
