"Wizards of the Coast's Controversial Use of AI Art in Magic: The Gathering Promotions"

Wizards of the Coast initially banned the use of generative AI tools in the creative process for Magic: The Gathering products, but faced backlash after posting AI-generated art for an upcoming set. Despite initially defending the art as human-created, the company later backtracked, acknowledging the use of AI components and apologizing for not vetting the artwork. This incident led to at least one artist severing ties with Wizards, highlighting the ongoing debate around the use of AI in creative processes.
