It’s no wonder that AI is taking over the internet, whether for good or bad. People have strong opinions about its use in movies and video games. AI art began gaining major popularity in 2024, and since then it has been used to replace concept art and textures in games. Studios are also beginning to use AI art in movies planned for release in 2026, including companies such as Disney.
In gaming, one of the larger titles rumored to use AI art is Black Ops 7. The game was criticized for having AI-generated elements, and some games have even been disqualified from awards, such as Expedition 33. Many major gaming companies, including Sony and Microsoft, are beginning to use AI in development to add value to their games.
Some people believe this is fine, while others strongly disagree. A major concern is that AI could replace artists’ jobs. However, AI cannot handle many of the complex movements and emotional details that characters need in games. Because of this, companies are not fully replacing artists, but instead using AI mainly for early concepts and placeholders.
In movies and media, companies like Disney have faced backlash for attempting to integrate AI into their brand. Disney and Universal are also involved in lawsuits against AI companies, claiming their tools used copyrighted material without permission. There was even a film planned that relied heavily on AI, but it was canceled due to negative reviews and public backlash.
Employees worry about how AI will affect creative careers, and many fans feel that it takes away from originality and creativity. They believe art should come from human imagination, not machines.
So, the question remains: should AI be used in games, movies, and music, or should it be removed from creative industries altogether so that creativity can stay in the hands of artists?
