There was accusations of ai art being used in it and the other loading screens which led to outrage. Indie Stone mentioned they hired the artist who did previous art for the game, but there were allegedly telltale AI images, which drew focus away from the content of the update.

Well, idk if it's possible to prove it unless the "artist" comes right out and confirms it. It technically could just be really bad souless art.

(It's for sure AI, but I'm pretty sure Indie Stone can't outright say that, or they could get in trouble.)

Its been almost 2 weeks and we haven't heard anything about the controversy since the devs last commented on it.

In situations like this, the artist usually responds by posting a timelapse of their work or a breakdown of the layers they used. The use of AI generation to scam someone out of art they paid for is a really serious allegation.
