The poster has been removed.
I don't know how many times I have to repeat it, but by now, big companies should know that using generative AI will definitely attract the wrong kind of attention.
Arcane Season 2 has been on everyone's minds a lot recently as Netflix released the last act of the League of Legends-based series on November 23. Everything went smoothly if IMDb's 9+ ratings for every episode are anything to go by, but some fans noticed a detail in one of the images that dampened their mood.
It seems like Netflix extended a poster for Season 2 with AI, and people were quick to notice typical inconsistencies, like whatever is happening with Jinx's arm.

The news reached Riot's brand lead, who was apparently unaware of such artistic frivolity and called this "disrespectful to the incredible artists who worked on the show." The image has been removed, fans placated, and this situation has hopefully become a lesson for companies: internet users see everything, so it's better to ask the original company for more images to fit your format than lose your own reputation and harm that of artists, especially as talented as ones at Fortiche.
Take Wacom's and Wizards of the Coast's experiences with using AI for promo materials and the reception as an example.
