"Wizards of the Coast Admits Using AI-Generated Art in Magic: The Gathering Promo"

Magic: The Gathering maker Wizards of the Coast apologizes for using AI-generated art in a promotional image, despite a standing ban on AI in its art. The controversy has led to at least one artist publicly announcing that he is "done" with the company. The company initially denied the use of AI in the image but later backtracked, acknowledging that the art included "some AI components." The situation highlights the challenges of maintaining a ban on AI-generated art in a fast-evolving industry.
