Full image:

People noticed artifacts in the art pretty quickly:

WotC is standing by its claim but it seems doubtful that these mistakes would have been made by a human unless the artist comes out and shows their process

Its always possible some underpaid artist used AI without Wizards knowing. (or just used it as part of the process). But, that image was at least partially made with AI.

Yeah I agree, it’s a least possible WotC is relying on the artist’s claim.

This is 100% AI generated/assisted in some way and anyone who’s ever used Midjourney or any of them can see this. I’m surprised WotC made such an immediate denial, they could’ve at least looked into this more fully given the potential fallout.
