LOS ANGELES — Another startling advancement has been made in AI picture generated technology, as users recently used the popular DaVinci software to produce a shockingly lifelike picture of someone having fun while playing a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) game.
“Wow, that looks so real it’s actually kind of creepy,” said local gamer Drew Solomon, looking at the AI generated image of a man enjoying his time spent playing League of Legends. “They even got the hands right and everything. Wow, this really proves that there’s nothing these machines can’t do if given the right kind of resources. This is crazy. It’s like staring into a portal into another dimension.”
The picture, which depicts a teenage male gamer smiling as he chats with friends after narrowly losing a match in the popular online game, debuted online to much criticism.
“This shit has gone on too far,” said Lee Maxwell, a vocal critic of AI-generated artwork. “I don’t mind having glorified chatbots to goof around with, but once we give these things the power to conjure up the unimaginable, then I truly shudder to think what might come next. If they can make it look like someone had a good time playing a MOBA, I think they can do just about anything, and I’m scared to find out what that is exactly.”
As of press time, Riot Games had reminded the public that the picture was merely a fabrication, and that their games aren’t meant to be consumed for entertainment purposes.
