Bungie says it will not promote AI-generated Destiny 2 fan art

Regular readers of destiny 2 The weekly newsletter knows that one of the features is a highlight of player-made work, whether it’s videos or fan art, and so was a highlight from two weeks ago that featured an artwork titled Guardian Rendition . However, as it turned out, this artwork was an AI-generated image.

The discovery was unveiled by the twitter account the fan-run DestinyTracker database, which also attached a response from the submitter, a person named Hebb, who stated that he “really liked” the image and therefore posted it on the creation page. Hebb says he would remove the image, but at the time of writing this article it is still uploaded and available to view.

The following week destiny 2 The newsletter addressed the submission, which explained the true intent of the fanart highlights and asked for patience from players as Bungie will attempt to better verify the source of future works. “We wish to hold this celebration of our community for those who are working hard to bring their creative selves to the fore,” the post reads. “We apologize if we inadvertently publish an AI-generated post, and respectful warning should this ever happen again in the future. Appreciate the support!”
