You don't really need a statement from the company to know these images are AI generated. Look at the redhead's earrings, each of them mysteriously blending into a lock of hair, the asymmetrical crosses on both sides of his vest and the deformity of the skulls on both characters' belt buckles.
With AI regulations still mostly non-existant, I'll be curious to see what justification they use for this. It's obvious that Oda's art was stolen and fed to an image generator for these things, but i'm not sure there is legislation in Japan to protect artists' work in this context yet. There wasn't any legal response -that I know of, at least- from Studio Ghibli when ChatGPT started proudly flaunting their new "Ghibli" filter, and I would've thought they at least had somewhat of a solid case because the studio's name was being used as part of the marketing. Then again I assume Nintendo reserves the right to take down games from their library as they please and they don't need a legal justification for that. |

If I were trying something that was this blatant about being soulless cash-in slop I'd at least lean into it and call it Fun Peace or Won Pete's or something.

Haha, wow, I was eyerolling a pair of their other games that showed up on the Switch store recently last night, similarly in For Guys and For Girls editions, but these are even sillier. They're still up on the US store at this moment, so I flipped through them for kicks, and the guys all look like Oda knockoffs while apart from the 'cover' girl, the others are all pretty generically gacha whatevers. And the level of laziness in just swapping assets is almost impressive.

With names like Pirate Anime Quest: One Boys' Journey, A Piece of Island Love and Pirate Anime Quest: One Girls' Journey, A Piece of Island Love, I could've told you it was AI if I was blind. God they're not even trying to hide it.

That pic remembers me that game whose hook is that every character is a legally distinct genderbend version of shounen characters.
*checks internet* Enigma of Sepia. |

Man, can we just get rid of all this AI shovelware completely. Like, there's the game with the Goblin Slayer rip offs, and a never ending wave of AI generated puzzle games with hentai in the title.

... Is there even a point for them doing such statement? |

Not really because it doesn't matter. Rip-off games have existed long before AI was even a thing so it's a complete non-issue. The only people focusing on the AI aspect are the usual anti-AI folks. |

God forbit Nintendo (or anyone else, for that matter) actually examine these games *before* they're listed.

Apparently in order to make in-app purchases for Enigma of Sepia, you have to do it on the game devs’ website. Hella sketchy. |

Speaking of AI and tangent related to this, it's not only being used to create video game plagiarism seen here in the ANN article. I was listening to a Nature podcast this week (disclaimer: I'm a big science person), and I was also disturbed that AI is being used to write up scientific research papers, very low quality ones that are slipping through the cracks (including peer reviews too). It's not only scientific papers, I'm also very disturbed that students in higher ed are using AI to cheat in their studies too, and this has raised concern amongst ethics expert like this one for example. So yeah, this is very scary for some bad actors using AI to cheat and plagiarize and we're harming creativity because of that, and also contributing to to the dumbing of challenges.

People act like this is anything new. Remember Meme Run on the Wii U? The eShop has always been filled with shovelware. Or "slop" as the kids are saying now.

At least before AI people had to put a tiny smidgeon of effort into copying Oda's artsyle or recoloring or something. These guys just told the planet destroying thrash making machine to give Zoro Nami's hair but redder.
Also jesus christ if nintendo is gonna make you fork over your life savings for games can they at least have some quality control?? |
