Anti-AI streamer Ironmouse's art in Fortnite features AI watermark

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

An AI watermark, generated by Gemini, appeared on artwork for a song by the anti-AI streamer Ironmouse, which was featured in the game Fortnite. This caused controversy as Ironmouse had previously expressed strong opposition to AI use. It was revealed that the music distributor, Trap Nation, was responsible for using AI-generated art without Ironmouse's knowledge or consent, leading to the artwork's prompt replacement. Epic Games, the developer of Fortnite, stated they used the artwork provided by the artist, who also denied involvement in the AI-generated version. AI
