I haven't yet used this fancy new tech in any of our catalog, but I enjoy playing around with it. My pièce de résistance, I call "Five Fingers on My Right Hand":

To be fair, AI generators mostly get fingers right these days. But even with these advances, imagery generated by DALL*E, the zillion offshoots of Stable Diffusion, and even Midjourney are often easily detectable. They have a look to them!

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: This game and associated materials uses AI generated audio and visual graphics content. All AI generated content is commercially licensed from the industries leading AI generation platforms.
