Wizards of the Coast, the publisher of Magic: The Gathering, has faced criticism for allegedly using AI-generated art in a social media ad for MTG. The controversial Twitter post promoting the newly-announced Tomb Raider Secret Lair was deleted after fans accused the image of being artificially generated. A new Tweet promoting the same MTG Secret Lair was shared later, but still faced accusations about AI in the comments section. The art on the Tomb Raider MTG cards itself does not appear to be AI-generated, but the background of the promotional image has raised concerns. Fans pointed out inconsistencies in shapes, lighting, and missing or mismatching features as evidence of computer interference. This is not the first time Wizards has been accused of using AI art, as they were previously criticized for AI art in a DnD book. Wizards of the Coast released a statement claiming they were unaware of the use of AI and are revising their process and artist guidelines to prevent the use of AI art. The use of AI art has been a controversial topic in the tabletop world, with other publishers condemning it. Wizards of the Coast was contacted for comment but has not replied.
