WWE Roasted By Fans For Using AI Slop During 5/8 SmackDown

TLDR

WWE faced criticism from fans for using AI-generated artwork during the May 8 episode of SmackDown, which featured a funeral for The Gingerbread Man mascot character. The company used AI artwork on posters during a wake segment and in a tribute video played by Trick Williams, with fans expressing disappointment and calling for WWE to hire real graphics artists instead. X added a community note to WWE's posted video stating it was created with AI and should be labeled as such.
