The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in art, particularly within the Magic: The Gathering (MTG) community, has sparked controversy and concern among players. Recently, Wizards of the Coast, the company behind MTG, faced backlash for using AI-generated art in a promotional image for an upcoming Secret Lair release. The image, which featured a background room created using AI, was quickly deleted after players called out the use of AI art. This incident is not the first time Wizards has faced criticism for using AI-generated art, as a similar controversy arose in the Dungeons & Dragons community. Despite a previous apology and commitment to revising their artist guidelines, Wizards has once again found itself in hot water over the use of AI art. The AI-generated art in question displayed noticeable faults, such as inconsistent colors and perspective, leading many to believe it was created using AI. The incident has prompted ongoing criticism from MTG players, who hope that Wizards will learn from this mistake and refrain from using AI art in the future. Despite the lack of a formal statement or apology from Wizards, the incident has raised concerns about the potential impact of AI on the art within the MTG community.
