“We have a clear policy not to use generative AI to create LEGO content,” the company said in a statement to Axios, adding that it “will take all necessary steps to ensure that it won’t happen again.”
The company added: “We believe generative AI offers interesting opportunities and we will continue to explore how we can use it to improve the experiences we offer and our ways of working.”
doublespeak much?
Not really. You can use generative AI as a reference to create original works instead of using the generated image directly.
but, then you would already have used generative AI?
“Using” generative AI in the two quotes means two different things. Directly using the AI generated image is different from using the image as a reference.
In the first scenario, generative AI is being used as a solution, while in the second it’s being used as a tool. AI is great as a tool, but not as a solution.
Sounds like someone’s getting fired
The Naruto headband on one of the ninjas was the best part.
LEGO’s response seems reasonable and I’m sure they will fix their internal review process.
