Recently, the popular game Fortnite has faced a collective player backlash due to the appearance of suspected AI-generated low-quality content within the game. Many players have spoken out on the social media platform Reddit, calling for a boycott of these "AI low-quality contents" and expressing support for genuine artistic creation.

In a post titled "Saying No to AI Low-Quality Content," players shared multiple images they believed were AI-generated in-game materials, including posters and graffiti designs. One poster even showed an unusual snowman with nine toes. The post quickly sparked heated discussions and received over 3,000 likes from users. Many players expressed disappointment with the AI content in the game.

A player commented that they hope AI is only used for trivial tasks that can speed up development, not for creative content. Others pointed out that although not every player may encounter these AI-generated contents, their presence itself is disrespectful to artistic creation. They emphasized that generative AI not only harms the environment but may also infringe on artists' original works, ultimately affecting the overall quality of the game.

This controversy comes at a time when Tim Sweeney, CEO of Epic Games, recently made comments questioning the practice of requiring developers to disclose whether generative AI is used in games, arguing that such a practice is meaningless in game stores. Sweeney mentioned that AI will be almost everywhere in future game development, so it should not be specially labeled.
