Renowned artist Dave Rapoza has publicly ended his collaboration with Wizards of the Coast over allegations that the company used AI-generated art for promotional material of Magic: The Gathering, despite their policy against using AI for creating final products.

He emphasized the importance of integrity and attention to values, and while he can afford to quit due to his diverse portfolio, he acknowledged that not all artists are in a position to do so.
