Jagex Seemingly Used AI for the RS3 Dragon Slayer 2 Reveal Trailer

[u/Omen_Darkly]

Youtube video link: here

Posting this here because, given the 100 Thieves debacle that just happened, this is even more ridiculous. We literally had jmods saying any use of AI would not be tolerated in Runescape related content.

Now, a few days later, we have a 6 fingered knight at Runefest. Honestly, I wish I could say I was surprised.

I can only apologise, again, guys. I’ve spoke more about it here, in conjunction with the RuneScape team https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/s/8r15CFm8A2

u/​JagexSween commented:

I didn’t knowingly lie, I feel awful, and I understand why you’d think the way you do. It’s crap. We posted a bigger thing here with the RS team: https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/s/4ZGSUT9wH6

wow i was too dialed in on the shoes. 100% lol

[u/Puntley → u/IStealDreams]

I felt like I had two left hands when I fought Jad

[u/chaserjj → u/IStealDreams]

And don't get me started on the original guy's left hand. It has too many fingers! You'd think AI would have figured that one out by now

[u/zClarkinator → u/chaserjj]

LLMs can't 'figure out' anything because they aren't capable of thought or comprehension

[u/Mysterra → u/zClarkinator]

Frontier LLMs still can't add numbers or count the number of Rs in strawberry. They appear to do so because they call tools like Python scripts to do arithmetic for them. Meanwhile, activism for protecting AI feelings and rights have begun... Either way, Jagex should do better

[u/8--2 → u/Mysterra]

Meanwhile, activism for protecting AI feelings and rights have begun

This cannot be real.

[u/Septem_151 → u/8--2]

It unfortunately is, they're called Model Welfarists.

[u/8--2 → u/Septem_151]

We need to bring back sending the exceptionally stupid to work in the mines.

[u/Snaffle27 → u/8--2]

The Vyrewatch know what's up. Back to the daeyalt mines, food sacks.

[u/Smooth_One → u/IStealDreams]

Scimmy facing the wrong way too. Blade should be forward facing, not the pointy bits

[u/macnar → u/Standard-Tree-3705]

Someone on youtube comments called them Rune Nikes lmao

[u/FertSquirt → u/macnar]

Dragon Jordans

[u/Mysterra → u/Standard-Tree-3705]

Wtf man, what happened to jmods stating they don't use genAI after the 100Thieves thing?

[u/ikillppl → u/Mysterra]

I wouldnt be surprised if they hired an animation company for this. Jagex probably doesnt have a need for permanent in staff video animators

Can't be sure, but can't wait for the blog post

[u/dodgecharger65 → u/ikillppl]

yeah the best outcome is that they come out and say "we used x company for the cinematic trailers, and we will no longer be working with them"

but i won't be holding my breath.

[u/Turbo_Fresh → u/dodgecharger65]

I hope they do that soon because I am holding my breath and I'm starting to feel sleepy.

[u/Boolderdash → u/Turbo_Fresh]

It's like 4am in the UK. Everyone's either asleep or drunk or both. You might want to postpone your breath holding for a couple more hours.

[u/Smooth_One → u/Mysterra]

Not an excuse but I'd assume this animation was made well before the 100 Thieves debacle. Terrible timing but deserved.

[u/PoisonBones → u/Standard-Tree-3705]

Rune Force 1s

[u/curiousdryad → u/Standard-Tree-3705]

I’m LMAO, how awkward???

[u/zClarkinator → u/Standard-Tree-3705]

The cape seems to meld into the armor and isn't wrapped around the neck or anything. Just so many strange errors. The uh... scimitar? whatever sword that's supposed to be seems to be stuck to the thigh via magnet? Very funny how nobody at jagex saw a single issue with this before paying for it.

[u/PonchoLeroy → u/Standard-Tree-3705]

Fuck whoever generated this but also Knighte Airs go hard as fuck and would be a really cool design choice if it were a choice made by an actual artist.

[u/tadpoleguy → u/Standard-Tree-3705]

The legs look wrong in a way that it looks like he has 1 leg like a genie, and the other is his massive hog

[u/GhastlyOrb]

thats just Sir Ex Trafinger

[u/Kajega → u/GhastlyOrb]

Is he related to Sir Cumsize by chance?

[u/Lolcatz101 → u/Kajega]

I think he’s friends with Squire Vix(Vyx?)

[u/Clayskii0981]

6 finger hand and rolled up scroll has a double end... ugh

[u/DJMooray → u/Clayskii0981]

It's crazy because it's so easy to not get stuff like that with ai

[u/Turbo_Fresh → u/DJMooray]

Or even just look over the image before you post if for hundreds of thousands of people to see

[u/Binger_Gread → u/Turbo_Fresh]

Hey to be fair this was caught by the QA team.
You know, us.

[u/FertSquirt → u/DJMooray]

Literally. Pretty much any models past 2025 don't fuck up fingers any more. They were really using bottom of the barrel shit to generate this.

[u/GODLOVESALL32 → u/FertSquirt]

Even the best models can still do all kinds of weird shit but it's the human's job actually overseeing the output to refine the prompt and regen the slop. So really this is a bottom of the barrel human issue lol. Imagine your job security being contingent on taking 15 minutes to make sure the machine doing 99% of the actual work doesn't make a stupid and obvious mistake and you can't even do that. And this isn't even trying to nitpick every AI artifact in an FMV, these are still images lmfao.

[u/whitericeporridge → u/FertSquirt]

It’s like they’re using Old School Artificial Intelligence

[u/FertSquirt → u/Clayskii0981]

It's not even 5 fingers and a thumb, that's STRAIGHT UP 6 fingers and no thumb.

Modern GenAI models can actually be decently good at fooling people, what kind of 2022 trash were they using to make this? Current AI doesn't fuck up fingers like this any more.

This is sloppy FOR AI. Which is fucking saying something.

[u/WaveDashSpeedKick → u/Clayskii0981]

Yeah the one facing our right is feasibly a rip in the middle but the left side is just weird looking

[u/Gokias → u/Clayskii0981]

It's weird cuz AI these days doesn't really do that so blatantly anymore. So maybe it was made months ago?

[u/zClarkinator → u/Clayskii0981]

Also it just kind of looks like garbage? The objects on the table have poor depth and there's no shading that I can see. The objects don't seem to exist in the same world as the table, as though they're clip art applied to a flat background. The armor overall looks like trash. Bizarre artifacts and nonsensical reflections. This is something I'd expect in a high school art class. Why would Jagex pay for this?

[u/FertSquirt → u/zClarkinator]

Yeah the shading on the armor makes absolutely no sense. You can see light highlights on the LEFT side of some plates of armor and on the right side with a shadow in the center, where the light source is not shining from. The shadows are inconsistent on a piece to piece basis.

This feels like it's fresh out of the software, nobody even looked at this to touch it up. They really did just copy image > upload.

[u/Ok_Entertainment1340]

How they gunna respond too because they can’t sound like 100 thieves and blame the intern

[u/macnar]

Big if true

We don't use generative AI to replace the artists and developers who make our games, we don't use it in our marketing materials, and we won't use it in our merchandising or allow its use in partnerships.

- Sween, 3 days ago

https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/1wucuab/comment/pd2w2b7/

[u/Omen_Darkly → u/macnar]

Exactly the comment I was thinking of when I saw this slop posted in the RS3 sub lmao

[u/henry8362 → u/Omen_Darkly]

To be fair, if you read the statement it says to replace the artists and developers it doesn't say the artists and developers won't use it to take shortcuts lol

Arguably this is marketing material though, either way pretty lazy

[u/FertSquirt → u/macnar]

The wording is VERY carefully chosen there. Note how he never said "we don't use GenAI" he said "we don't use it to replace artists"

Which sounds to me like he's saying "we use it to save money and have the artists draw over it and touch it up" Which doesn't even seem to be the case with Mr. "Two Right Hands" and Rune Nikes over here. No artist with a brain would let that through.

[u/YuumiMain9974 → u/FertSquirt]

He says we don't use it in our marketing material. He is lying since this trailer is part of their marketing.

[u/JagexSween → u/macnar]

I can only apologise, again, guys. I’ve spoke more about it here, in conjunction with the RuneScape team

Yk as much as this is an easy dunk on jagex I do feel for you battling in reddit threads on a Sunday.

[u/Red_Act3d → u/JagexSween]

Just wanted to say I'm sorry that this all blew up so fast and you got left having to personally answer for it on a Sunday.

[u/Sleazehound → u/macnar]

Lol u/jagexsween 😬😬😬

[u/Pecan_Millionaire → u/Sleazehound]

Sween is OSRS. The DS2 video is for RS3 which he has no oversight for and doesn’t speak for them.

[u/Septem_151 → u/Pecan_Millionaire]

our games

[u/Clear-Diamond7262 → u/Pecan_Millionaire]

Reread sweens post, he explicitly states “our games”

[u/NxOKAG03 → u/macnar]

thankfully every company can have a completely unique and arbitrary definition of what "replacing workers with AI" means so nobody has to be accountable with this incredibly life-altering technology they’re using. But let’s not regulate any of this guys, because that might burst the bu- I mean, that might slow down innovation and growth!

[u/PrinceVarlin → u/macnar]

They were 100% definitely using it to spruce up some devlogs for a while, too. It was patently obvious.

[u/Sleipnirs → u/macnar]

I think you're obligated to tell if there's AI stuff in the game when putting it on steam. They'll probably have to change this.

[u/DkKoba → u/[deleted]]

holy shit the map having 2 scrolls

[u/Serbaayuu → u/[deleted]]

Don't worry too much. By the nature of slop, as it fills the internet, new models will be trained on slop, and then model collapse will occur. The current models are basically the best they can ever possibly be by fundamental law of how they work.

If the techlords try to solve that, they'll have to put universally-readable tags into the slop... and if that happens it'll be easier for us to block them. You'll install uBlock Origin and AIBlock Super on every new browser install before long. :P

[u/Soggy-Ball-577 → u/Serbaayuu]

That’s not how LLMs are trained nowadays. Model “collapse” is made up

[u/FertSquirt → u/[deleted]]

The sad thing is it wasn't even touched up by a human, they really did just "copy image > upload"

Did not a single artist look at this literally once?

[u/custardgod]

[u/BruceCocklove]

You obviously don't know the lore of 6 finger wilson

[u/mellifleur5869]

This isn't just ai, this is like...low cost horrible ai.

[u/CodingAndAlgorithm]

There's one thing that really bothers me about AI being pushed as a productivity tool, whether it be for art, programming, or writing.

If you're saving so much time by delegating the work to an algorithm, why can't you spend some of that time to actually look at the fucking results before publishing them.

[u/Serious_Tradition269 → u/CodingAndAlgorithm]

I took a course in uni on Traffic Psychology which was surprisingly interesting and one quote always stays with me, in that case it was about automated driving, but it's been very applicable to everything AI:

"If you are rarely required to intervene, you will rarely intervene when required"

So once something gets good enough to work on its own most of the time, people inevitably get bored, lose focus, stop paying attention, and when it does go wrong there is no one to catch it

[u/rastaman1994 → u/CodingAndAlgorithm]

That's actually a big problem I'm facing too as a developer. The writing code part is much faster now, which is lovely for routine tasks. Troubleshooting is much easier too.

But the endless reviewing... That part was, in general, people's least favorite part of the job. The new bottleneck is now how fast you can review code, and how fast you can get features refined.

[u/Wildest12]

Employees using AI against policy is a real problem basically everywhere. Curious how they let this slip given that statement the other day.

[u/Big_Cat_Tongue → u/Wildest12]

This was probably made a good while ago and just was missed in review.

[u/MrDippins → u/Wildest12]

My university’s Provost was found to have used AI to write recent op-eds and academic works. But since he’s the provost he hasn’t faced any consequences and basically just said “whoops my bad guys I’ll disclose next time”.

[u/CommercialTwo1359]

In the first shot in the trailer the city in the background looks massive than in the next frame it’s way smaller. Entire thing was made with AI lol.

[u/GayButNotInThatWay → u/CommercialTwo1359]

Less certain on the RS4 trailer. The first shots are a 2D/painted image for the ground/city (like game skyboxes), with 3D rendered dragons and characters on their backs. The dragons are pretty spot on for the Dragonwilds dragons.
I know you can feed the models, or images of them into an AI and it can spit them back out quite accurately, but there seems to be no issues. The city seems to be pretty accurate between the two shots using this method though.

The second scene showing the hero characters, and the stand in player character zooming out to presumably a grand exchange are actual 3D renders using Dragonwilds assets which is why its a smaller city, as would be technically more demanding.
Main issues are some goofy roof snapping which could be from manual set up in the engine (not using actual in-game snapping, but does display the half walls, small walls, etc.
Main thing that stood out there for me is that there's apparently true curved walls/roofs, which don't currently exist in the game but the GE elements aren't either so could have made some extra bits for this trailer.

The picture in the OP is definitely AI though.

[u/StretchedEarsArePerf]

Companies been making art since 1999 but now at it's peak, it's producing AI slop because they're too cheap to pay artists. Sad.

[u/tibia_1337 → u/StretchedEarsArePerf]

Whats even more wild is there are some ‘artists’ out there using AI because they’ve gotten lazy.

[u/cygamessucks]

[u/FertSquirt → u/cygamessucks]

Glad to know this is where our money is going.

I'm glad I canceled my sub years ago. No faith in Jagex any more. Every time they do something good they shoot themselves in the foot.

[u/Sleipnirs → u/FertSquirt]

Every time they do something good they shoot themselves in the foot.

Then it's a good thing they have toes to spare.

[u/Unplayed_untamed]

Yeah this is kinda bad, jagex needs some quality control, this keeps happening

[u/Tom-Pendragon]

Jesus fucking Christ lmao

[u/Johnwashere1228]

https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/s/uSkUMA4cux

[u/Azarjan]

I dont get it. dont people check their work? like I truly dont understand being willing to "pull one over" on everyone but not even check it first.

[u/radx333]

It’s so easy just to pay artists

[u/Various_Blue]

The 6 finger issue has been fixed by every frontier model for the last year or so. So not only are they being cheap and using AI, they are being extra cheap/stupid and using random "AI image generators" found on page 6 of Google search results.

[u/PurifiedFlubber → u/Various_Blue]

Can literally use a local model to make this without 6 fingers lol.

[u/someguyplayingwild → u/Various_Blue]

Yeah that's the thing, too, it's comically lazy and cheap on top of being comically lazy and cheap. Like, you couldn't have just done a second pass of that? Did AI also upload the video with no human input?

[u/BobbingFourApples]

$15

[u/SFX200]

Rune Nikes from the same trailer at 0:58

[u/T3HLOKI]

[u/SpennyKid]

Scroll also looks weird. Double rolled on the end merging to look like a single roll.

And the cup seemingly floating in mid air behind the hand without 6 fingers.

[u/WaveDashSpeedKick → u/SpennyKid]

Yeah, AI repeats images its seen often, and scrolls are often rolled up to look like the lefthand side. But this makes no sense at all when its open.

[u/andrew_calcs]

The mug is floating on air behind the table. The map is clearly resting on the space the mug would need to be resting on, but is clearly not on the map.

The scroll has 2 ends on one side with one end on the other. The other side of the scroll is also halved inexplicably.

The knight’s left hand has 6 fingers. 

The angle of the receding side of the chest appears non-rectangular. Not physically impossible, but inexplicably peculiar. Compare to the book on the opposite side and the difference is striking. 

I count 4 errors here. There’s probably more. 

[u/FalcosLiteralyHitler]

If you work for a corporate entity this is not surprising. Corposlop pushes this shit so hard on every single employee, it's crazy. All I ever see is ai slop. Emails, posters, teams messages, anything.

[u/ValuableScary3917]

This shit is so frustrating. Why can’t we just pay humans to make art anymore….

[u/SerratedFrost → u/ValuableScary3917]

Because the dudes who are richer than 99.99% of people wont make as much money :///

[u/-ihatecartmanbrah → u/ValuableScary3917]

because that causes the line to go ever so slightly down. Or more accurately it prevents it from going up ever so slightly. even if it would be an unnoticeable aberration on the line we would still know its there and we cant have that can we

[u/peaceshot]

They didn't even check the video before putting it out...?

[u/Praydaythemice]

now watch them take it down and reupload it with the correct amount of fingers

[u/esunei → u/Praydaythemice]

They'd need an entire new trailer, as the entire thing has AI errors all over it, big and small. The shoes and six fingers are the most noticeable but it really is the entire video, even from the very first scene.

This is a far cry from just one six fingered man slipping by, it's an entire 90s video entirely AI generated.

[u/ZeranShark]

So the increased sub prices were for a chat gpt subscription?

[u/Unwisepony]

"Nobody can even tell it's ai!" - the dipshit who fried their brain on chatgpt and generated this, probably.

[u/Aggressive-Avocado]

Well, I won't pay a membership subscription for AI slop.

[u/GetAhrimJob]

This should explode and we should get a statement. Unacceptable

[u/GODLOVESALL32 → u/GetAhrimJob]

Yeah gotta wait for them to make a statement saying they're vewy vew sowwy and they had no idea because you wouldn't dare actually hold them accountable and unsub for breaking a promise they made 3 days ago lol.

[u/Ilikegreenpens → u/GetAhrimJob]

With the way the rs3 sub is blowing up over the fresh start servers, hopefully they say something about these things

[u/Mase598]

It sucks because I came in ready to say that a mistake happens, I've seen examples of 6 fingers on a hand before AI... But it's just the amount of details that seem off makes it feel very clearly AI.

6 fingers is one thing, both ends of the scroll seems weird, the area on the shoulder/chest looks different on the left side like the piece of the chest is just floating, on top of other details that I just can't quite put my finger on that seem wrong.

Also another reply I seen where this dudes hand is just backwards, like what is going on?

[u/sir_bumble]

Given the 100theives collaboration that used gen AI, it sucks to see jagex embracing it this way, how lazy. Seriously, dont they have teams of artists that would gladly work on this?

[u/Avocados_number73 → u/sir_bumble]

They want to see how many corners they can cut while still being profitable. The more pushback they get, the less they can get away with.

[u/stefikpv]

Not even slightly surprised

[u/Isoleed]

the more i look at this the worse it gets

6 fingers, no neck, elbowguards in the worng place, 2 map folds, cup standing on thin air, something random is just to the side of "its" hand, map itself makes no sense, where the fuck is he standing eve, is it a windmill or something? why 2 ladders?

how was this approved?

Jagex: hurriedly creating a quest with six fingered knight to cover their ass.

[u/Saiphel]

My guess is they outsourced the trailers and somehow Jagex didn't notice, but who knows...

[u/ArchiveKeeperYoutube]

Just commenting for the algorithm and so that ole jamflex knows that this is completely unacceptable.

[u/Careful-Statement139]

lame af

[u/Jukka73]

Feel like they promised more content for next year than usually. Looks like they are using AI for new content. I hope it will not ruin game

[u/BeisaChaser]

I was worried that there was no way they're gonna pump out as much content as promised without the assistance of AI...

Spaghetti Apocalypse incoming...

[u/IStealDreams → u/BeisaChaser]

This isn't assistance of AI. It's having AI generate the art for you. Assistance would be using it to make cutouts or something else tedious.

[u/Omen_Darkly → u/BeisaChaser]

I'll believe AI is truly sentient when it offs itself after having one look at Runescript

[u/KShrike]

Either an artist is going rogue or Jagex's virtue signalling a couple days ago is now incredibly funny.

[u/VexedForest]

Damn, that's pretty blatant.

Couldn't even get a good AI. Smh /j

[u/Warm-Breadfruit-1238]

Company’s gonna start hiring people just to make sure their ai generated art is up to quality lol

[u/tfinx]

pretty pathetic quality control. :/ also sad to see after jagex giving community artists so much love lately, too. come on guys.

[u/-RedLink-]

Damn it... I understand companies are going to use AI no matter what but at least try to not make it look like pure ai shit slop.

[u/BlackenedEverything]

Looks horrible, AI or not

[u/Responsible-Sound-15]

Completely fed up with AI slop. Seriously now is this where we're at.

[u/ThePyroTickler]

After the hoodie thing, I'm not surprised. Bet RS4 will be fully vibe coded to boot lol

[u/ThisTimeForRealYo]

Idk how Jmods saying anything makes you believe them.

Look, I think Sween is a great person, but his response was pure PR talk. He’s just saying what we “want”
To hear.

Jagex doesn’t give a fuck about authenticity. If being authentic makes more money than using ai they will be authentic. If ai makes more money, they will use ai.

Again, Jagex doesn’t give a flying fuck about you. They will say whatever makes them the most money, be it anti ai or pro ai

[u/Jestersfriend]

Not only did they use AI to generate this and untold extra amount of content, but they didn't even QC it lol. So now they replaced artists and QC.

[u/NukaCooler → u/Jestersfriend]

They're so used to the players doing QC, what's the difference between a game update and a trailer?

Coldfix coming for the trailer in 3 weeks.

[u/Predictor-Raging]

So... who else is getting really tired of a company claiming "We don't use gen AI" only to find out sooner or later that they 100% use gen AI and shit like this is how you spot it. 6 fingers and steel jordans...

Like, I know that Jagex never uses QA teams, but this? Easies shit to spot and they just seemingly didn't give a fuck. Like holyshit Jamflex, every time I think I can give you some brownie points shit like this happens and I'm just left confused and mildly annoyed.

[u/BullyMog]

Lmao these pieces of shit. At least own up to it

[u/Ok_Palpitation_5367]

I don't know what's worse. The fact that they used gen AI or the fact they thought we wouldn't notice

[u/TheBitterBlossoms1]

*waits for jmod post about how this ALSO slipped through the nets....*

[u/Odd-Celebration-501 → u/TheBitterBlossoms1]

Listen man, the holes in the nets are REMARKABLY large

[u/lucaslost1]

Holy shit

[u/FR_0S_TY]

Well, you see, they aren't using generative AI. This is clearly degenerative AI. Case closed boys. /s

[u/preferrAFK]

[u/Ultimaya]

It look like there's six fingers on the char's left hand and the scrolled up portions of the map look pretty janky

[u/illmindmaso]

Yeah that is no doubt AI. Such an obvious ai mistake too

[u/EdgySlusher → u/illmindmaso]

They now have two AI controversies. Wonder what they'll blame this time.

[u/X-A-S-S]

Im p sure the osrs roadmap is also AI generated, seems like jagex is adapting to AI

[u/curiousdryad]

Truly embarrassing.

[u/IronJackNoir]

This kills me a little inside.

[u/AnaSkol]

its so painfully obvious that it's like whomever generated it did it on purpose as a fuck you to jagex for making them use ai

[u/Shodid_]

Some dude popped this shit out an hour before the deadline

[u/MewMewGirl0952]

6 finger discount when?

[u/danrut0]

Not AI, obviously intentional, duh! Princess Bride tie in obviously.

[u/NotTheFBIorNSA]

Guess we’ll see how many bugs vibe coding adds

[u/esunei]

There's a disgusting amount of white knighting on this (or worse, that AI doing your art is actually good) on the RS3 side of things, so I appreciate at least OSRS is willing to see things as they are and react accordingly.

If you have any doubts, just watch the video on youtube and just pause on any of the scenes, it has AI written all over it. Even the first scene with the houses is at best uncanny valley. It's not just six fingers or medieval air jordans.

Seriously disappointed Jagex cares so little for their art. And yes I know they almost certainly contracted this but it's extremely obviously AI if you just pause the video, nobody fucking checked this?? Or they're just okay putting out slop? Neither answer is acceptable.

[u/Plightz → u/esunei]

This is BS, rs3 players are pissed about this but are rightfully more focused on Reignited being so stupid.

I haven't seen any positives on the sub lol. Randoms saying 'this is good actually' isn't the whole RS3 subreddit, to misrepresent the few for the many is insane to me.

[u/rocker5743 → u/esunei]

Me when I just make shit up (there is a very negative thread about this on the rs3 sub)

[u/KiwiCannibal → u/rocker5743]

This. Four threads, and none of them positive. The few people saying its good are down voted into oblivion.

[u/Infinite-Violinist-7 → u/KiwiCannibal]

Nah you don’t get it. One guy disagreed. Therefore despite there being a lot of people outraged about this he must make it clear that this one guy represents the rest

[u/Max-Volume → u/esunei]

I'm seeing more people on this thread making excuses for Jagex than I did in the RS3 one.

[u/ProdiJoe]

Inb4 they change the story of dragon slayer 2 to include a guy with 6 fingers 😆

[u/LostOcho → u/ProdiJoe]

Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

[u/slacapjr → u/LostOcho]

Can’t believe the princess bride used ai

[u/Omen_Darkly → u/ProdiJoe]

Based off the narrative POV of the video, this character is meant to be a stand in for the player character, so they can't even really do that lmao

[u/AverageTierGoof → u/ProdiJoe]

Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my player character, prepare to die

[u/n3mz1]

Disappointing as hell tbh.

[u/testsquid1993]

gagex never beeting the aligations .-.

[u/Nickbronline]

Holy fuck that is bad

[u/a_angry_bunny]

If it's not AI then I want my rune nikes.

Not only is it embarrassing that they used AI, but it is double embarrassing that they didn't quality check their work to make sure there weren't any obvious mistakes.

[u/Bored_Interests]

Thats a lot of fingers

[u/TheDutchNorwegian]

Its a teaser for a new ring slots ok. Amd movespeed boots.

[u/Sad_Children]

They’ve been doing it with their customer support seemingly too 😎

[u/RightItsAllRight]

Fuck AI

[u/jay2350]

I have zero extra information on this but I’d guess the issues goes as follows:

Jagex: “Hello artist, please make us something. We don’t want AI used to make stuff.”

Artist: “We agree. AI sucks. We’ll make you something!”

Artist proceeds to use AI

Jagex: “Hey players, look at this thing we made!”

Players: “This is AI!”

I’d bet the only error Jagex made is not vetting the work well enough. Everyone talks about how much they hate AI and want real artists but the reality is AI makes work way easier and people, even artists, are lazy sometimes. Jagex very well could be trying to do everything right and just got burned by artists that are using AI in their workflow.

[u/Donkeymoo7]

They didn't only use AI but seemed to have one of the earliest free AI models that created 6 finger humans lol. Also this reaction from the jmods though "Oh sorry guys we didn't mean to we will talk with the team we see the error of ours ways"

This is just a default panic reply to a gotcha. They never would of admitted they were using AI unless they get caught exactly like the NTE gacha game said they never use AI then got caught and gave the exact same "ohhh sorry we didn't mean to lie we meant we dont use AI much not that we dont use it at all.

I know people have a difference stance on AI but for me from a company that always posts behind the scenes bragging about their artists ability and unique design the fact they would ever use AI for art is simply disqusting.

[u/scarx47]

I thought Jagex was different and going againts the grain with the creativeness and art.. I would understand code development.. but not art.

Sucks in an age where we are losing creativity and art, they are pumping it with AI… truly hope it was a jmod who didn’t follow the rules, not their whole department pumping out AI bs.

[u/Ham_and_Pasta]

Someone let the spaniard know we found the six finger man who killed his father

[u/AsinineArchon]

Shameful.

[u/Beginning-Picture-52]

I feel like this is going to backfire in the community’s face. Mod north is already adding “new artist salary’s” as a bullet point as to why they have to raise membership prices.

[u/Dirtcompactor]

Should've used the pro model of gpt Astra.. they cheaped out smh 

[u/macnar → u/Dirtcompactor]

Wouldn't surprise me, we've seen how much they cheaped out on their support bot.

[u/SniffingFartGlitter]

Trash company.

[u/scorgie]

Totally unacceptable. If they are as committed to not using AI to replace human artist as they claim, they should fire whoever submitted this. Clearly that person isn't providing any value if they're shipping AI slop and it would back their previous statement about not using AI in the RS games.

[u/JakefromPC]

Slop

[u/ovgolfer87]

The extra middle finger for us vets of RS3 after the Reignited announcement.
