Oops, Destiny 2 awards best fan art – but it’s not by a fan, it’s by the AI

Leksand extended the winning streak beat AIK

Studio Bungie has admitted a mistake. They honored a Destiny 2 artwork as Art of the Week, but the winning image was not of a fan, it was of an artificial intelligence. Bungie doesn’t want that.

What competition was it?

  • Bungie regularly recognizes community artwork or videos in their weekly blog post: budding artists can submit their creations, someone or several people at Bungie review the submissions, and then highlight a selection of the fan’s best artworks in the blog post, which any hardcore fan carefully studied by Destiny on Thursday evenings of each week.
  • This is for aspiring artists, a chance to try themselves and potentially be seen by thousands of viewers.
  • We used to present Destiny’s “Video of the Week” at MeinMMO for years. It’s important to Bungie to stay in touch with the community and recognize fan dedication with such acknowledgment actions.

    Now what was the trouble? Bungie chose one image, “Guardian Rendition,” and named it “Art of the Week” in the February 2nd blog post. But the picture was immediately confronted with the accusation that it wasn’t “real” after all, that it was certainly created by artificial intelligence.

    User Zeta reproachfully said:

    You didn’t create this art, it was a machine stealing the work of others.

    And sure enough, the sender of the picture admitted: he thought the picture was just pretty, that’s why he posted it on the site. He takes that back now.

    Bungie wants to award fans, not AI

    Here’s how Bungie is reacting: In the current blog post from February 9, Bungie now says that they made a mistake and the team selected an image that came from an artificial intelligence (via bungie).

    We expressly do not want that. You want to celebrate the community: you will never willingly award an image that is generated by artificial intelligence.

    But the technology is so new that it is difficult to recognize an image made by the AI. That’s why they ask the fans for mercy if something like this happens. If Bungie ever features an image made by the AI, ask fans to help identify it so we can respond.

    Why is the topic important? The discussion at Bungie about AI shows a current problem: Artificial intelligence is now creating images and texts that are quite useful.

    However, the AI ​​is accused of actually only plagiarizing existing works of art and texts and thus stealing the intellectual property of “real people” and thus depriving them of their recognition or even their livelihood.

    The discussion now also affects the shooter Destiny 2, where you position yourself clearly: you want to celebrate the fans, not the AI.

    What do you think the Vex have to say about that? The race of cybernetic war machines would certainly prefer Bungie to let the AI ​​go a little further.

    Our editor-in-chief has her own connection to artificial intelligence:
