Fans recently discovered an odd-looking bathroom sign in Marvel’s Wolverine, prompting people to wonder if developer Insomniac Games used generative AI.<\/p>\n
According to Insomniac’s community and marketing director James Stevenson, that’s a bunch of baloney. The reason the bathroom image looks weird is because of a “UV map bug,” he said. A fix is now in the works. <\/p>\n
“There are no AI-generated assets in Marvel\u2019s Wolverine,” Stevenson said.<\/p>\n

Insomniac’s last game, 2023’s Spider-Man 2, utilized machine-learning to help speed up development<\/a>, and the company intends to keep doing this going forward. But for now, it sounds like AI-generated assets are off limits.<\/p>\n Marvel’s Wolverine released on September 15 and became a swift success, reportedly exceeding the lifetime sales of Death Stranding 2 on PS5<\/a> right out of the gate.<\/p>\n While Marvel’s Wolverine might not have featured any AI-created assets, that’s not the case for every game. Activision’s Call of Duty games use generative AI<\/a>, as does Sega’s upcoming Crazy Taxi: World Tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n
