Previously, during the live broadcast of Nintendo Treehouse, careful viewers noticed some images appearing on the billboard next to the Mario Kart: World track that looked like it was created by generative AI, which caused huge controversy due to the $80 price of the game.But Nintendo officially denied it.

"A AI was not used to generate images during the development of Mario Kart: World," a Nintendo spokesman told Eurogamer.

The picture in question is a poster of a bridge poster, which appears on a billboard in a city scene. Unfinished lines appear in the painting, which looks very incomplete, which is very common in AI-generated images.

Next to the bridge poster is another billboard, showing a skyscraper under construction. The floors are arranged in a strange direction and the channel structure is also very unreasonable, which also gives people the feeling of AI generating images.

There is also an advertising picture showing a car with a strange shape, with extremely large windows that remind people of the style of AI creation.

It should be pointed out that the version of "Mario Kart: World" displayed in this live broadcast is likely not the final product. It is very common for temporary placeholding images to occur in the game development stage. Some netizens also believe that this is purely because the Nintendo developers are too bad.

The probability of this image being generated by AI is as high as 97.7%.

Whether these images will appear in the official version remains to be seen.
