Rovio, the creators of Angry Birds, are again under scrutiny for using generative AI in their game, Angry Birds Dream Blast. This follows previous instances of AI art in 'Block Quest' and poor animation for International Women's Day.
Fans on Twitter exposed the new look of Angry Birds Dream Blast, particularly for a special event promoting ocean conservation. The AI-generated art is described as 'unnaturally shiny and ugly,' with noticeable inconsistencies, including characters resembling those from 'Finding Dory'.
Beyond the AI art, the video criticizes the game's menu for having a confusing and cluttered user interface. A promotional video for the 'Dream Pass' is also dismissed as low quality.
The video highlights the irony of Angry Birds Dream Blast promoting ocean conservation while simultaneously using AI, which is known for its significant environmental resource consumption. The creator expresses a loss of faith in the once-beloved franchise.
