Gossip: AI-Generated Ads on Bilibili Spark Community Controversy

Recently, players discovered that game advertisements on the Bilibili platform contained suspicious AI-generated art. The original poster shared these images, sparking reactions from the community who found the reliance on AI for commercial promotion 'ridiculous,' arguing that it significantly cheapens the visual quality.

The comment section was quickly divided. Supporters of the technology claimed it is an 'inevitable trend' and 'perfectly legal,' with some even praising AI for reducing communication costs between clients and artists. Conversely, critics argued that using clearly flawed AI images for ads reflects a lazy attitude from the developers. Moreover, veteran users mocked the situation as a 'typical move by Uncle' (a common nickname for Bilibili), referencing the platform's long-standing controversy regarding advertising standards and commercial integrity.
