Tencent's gaming platform WeGame allegedly used AI img2img tech to rip off Arknights promotional art and pass it off as their own — and when players overlaid the two images, even the gift ribbon matched pixel-for-pixel. NGA forum users were absolutely floored.
It all started when an NGA user posted a side-by-side comparison: one image was WeGame's promotional material, the other was the original Arknights official art. At first glance the styles differed slightly, but a closer look revealed the composition, poses, and proportions were eerily identical.
The OP's caption — 'So THIS is how Tencent suppresses competitors' (这下tx打压了) — was dripping with sarcasm. In the gacha community narrative, Tencent has long been painted as the boogeyman who 'suppresses' rival games, but apparently their method is... using AI to clone your art?
If the OP was just setting the stage, the overlay comparison posted in the comments was the real kill shot. A helpful forum user laid the two images on top of each other, and the result made everyone's jaw drop: limb angles, body proportions, decorative elements, positions — everything matched perfectly. Even the gift box and ribbon beside the character were identical. This wasn't 'inspired by' — this was clearly the output of an img2img AI pipeline.
Beyond the skeletal overlay evidence, players also spotted telltale AI artifacts. Multiple users pointed out the fingers in the first image looked 'terrifying' and 'grotesque' — clearly not hand-drawn, but bearing all the hallmarks of classic AI generation failures: distorted or miscounted fingers. As one commenter put it, 'This definitely doesn't look hand-drawn, those fingers are too creepy.'
The comment section became a collective freakout. Players screamed 'This is terrifying, we really can't mess with this,' others gasped 'Holy crap, they literally just AI-washed it,' and some simply yelled 'It's the Goose (Tencent slang), RUN' — expressing a mix of awe and resignation at Tencent's audacity.
The spiciest take came from a highly upvoted comment: 'Even when it comes to plagiarism, miHoYo copied it from Tencent' (就连抄袭这件事，mhy都是抄袭自tx的). This brilliantly flipped the community's favorite 'miHoYo is a copycat' meme on its head, suggesting Tencent is the true OG of stealing content — a savage irony that other users hailed as an 'absolute kill shot.'
One user offered a technical breakdown: 'It's mainly because they put zero effort in — this is basically just a Perfect World img2img pipeline, one-click and done,' implying the AI wash was so crude they didn't even bother fine-tuning the output. The final verdict from another player probably summed it up best: 'Greasy, dirty, and inferior — a cheap knockoff that doesn't hold a candle to the original.'
