Street Fighter 6 Art Contest Marred By Allegations Of AI Use

The article discusses the controversy surrounding the Street Fighter 6 fan-art contest, where allegations of AI-generated artwork have been raised. Capcom announced a contest for artists to submit entries for a chance to have their art featured in the game's "Here Comes A New Challenger" screen. While a winner was chosen for each of the 26 current roster members, the winning entry for newcomer Kimberly has sparked allegations that the artwork broke the contest's "no AI-generated images" policy. Users on X have provided analysis, suggesting that the winning entry and others may have been partially or fully created using AI. The artist in question has since deleted their social media accounts, and Capcom has not yet made a statement about the allegations. This is not the first time a video game-related art contest has been affected by allegations of AI use, with a similar issue occurring in a Pokemon Trading Card Game art contest last year.
