Arcane studio lead denounces “soulless and deeply disrespectful” AI-generated fanart: "If you truly want to pay homage to the show, don’t be afraid to pick up a pencil"

An Arcane production assistant called out AI-generated fanart using Seedance 2, labeling it "soulless and deeply disrespectful" to the show's artists. The tool combines existing images and audio to create video content with minimal human effort. Community members echoed the criticism, noting inconsistencies and lack of artistry. This follows Netflix's removal of an AI-generated Arcane season 2 poster in late 2024.
