May 26, 9:05am PDT: Epic Games has clarified to PCGamesN that the artwork was supplied by Porsche, and that the imagery was not used in Fortnite or the configurator, but was purely created to illustrate the configurator concept. Hey, it’s me, the guy that yammers on about how awful gen AI art is all the time. Well, I’m back, and this time Porsche has fallen foul of the controversial practice. Recently, Porsche teamed up with Epic Games to bring a Fortnite-themed background to its on-site car configurator, which runs on Unreal Engine. It’s actually a pretty fun collab, and it certainly isn’t the first gaming crossover Porsche has been a part of. There’s just one teeny tiny issue though: the concept art is clearly AI-generated.

 A Fortnite-themed background is now available for Porsche’s car configurator, but the use of AI in its conceptualization is disappointing.  PCGamesN
