    Is this in response to Satoshi Hamada tweeting the idea of bringing up the game to the Japanese Diet (“dee-eht,” which is a funny looking name but its basically the equivalent of Congress for Japan, with a House of Peers and a House of Representatives)? Or that song that went viral in Japan “Why Yasuke,” perhaps, which mentions AI being used to generate the game’s concept art?

    Ubisoft, just say the game is fantasy. Change it to Assassin’s Creed Isekai. Don’t present the game’s content as historical fact when there is no evidence to back it up. Its disrespectful not only to erase a Japanese male main character from the single game he would arguably belong in, but also to the real Yasuke who isn’t seen by Ubisoft as anything other than “a black person.”

      This has nothing to do with the subject of the post…

        People call AI art stolen all the time. I don’t see why this should be treated any different. Concept art goes into an artbook, and if generative AI was used then I don’t see how this doesn’t have anything to do with the game and its art.

          If it was trained on their own assets then it isn’t stolen.

      No, the article plainly states what’s going on.
