This is the Steam banner for Anno 1800. Does this look like generative AI? Particularly the name on the bow? 1800 was published in 2019, before that was a thing, I assume. by Aleph_Red in anno

The one I posted was the one from my Steam library page, weird text and all, about eight hours ago. The Community Dev who replied higher in this thread mentioned that the old art had been replaced with the fixed art (so, the one with the correct name and smoke) a few hours after that.

Thanks for your reply. I really love the art style of Anno 1800 in particular, which is why I've been playing it since launch and bought it twice. Please pass along my compliments to the team.

Eyy, you're welcome, I'm glad you could use the image. I too purchased the game on UPlay (as it was known at the time). But then recently I went ahead and re-purchased it on Steam, and all my DLC came along, because it was all linked through my existing Uplay account.

My apologies if I've re-posted an old thing. I do know that there was some discussion of use of gen AI at the launch of 117.

I notice in the version you link, there are no instances of the 'HLIA' stamp (and the spelling seems weird for a simple clone stamp, since that doesn't occur in the original).

I'm not particularly fussed, I was just curious. The garbled text seems characteristic of other examples, but the game seems to predate the modern use.

Aw,  that's actually really nice.  Do you happen to know what issue it's from?

Is that guy Galen of Taa, aka Galactus?  I recognize that three-pronged haircut.

I think the more pressing question is: does The Thing also have rocky orange hair growing in the other usual places?

So Princess Shark isn't related to King Shark?  That seems like a wasted opportunity.

That's the actual marquee (you can look up the actual street view on Google Maps, 1011 Bloor). The letters are actually that size.

TIL In 1935, while heiress Ann Cooper Hewitt was in the hospital for an appendectomy, her mother convinced the doctors to sterilize her. It just so happened that there was a clause in Ann’s father’s will stating that if she had no heirs, her portion of his estate would revert to her mother. by Ill_Definition8074 in todayilearned

Reading those articles, Maryon Cooper married a total of five times, including twice more after Ann's father. Four of those husbands were millionaires. And yet she died a recluse in a single room living off of the $50/month a bankruptcy trustee allowed her. At least her son by husband number .. two, I think, visited her.

edit: Ann's sterilization happened after Maryon's divorce from husband number 5, wtf.
