Nintendo has responded to claims it used AI (artificial intelligence) while making Mario Kart World.
It's been claimed by some that Nintendo used generative AI, a contentious topic in the world of gaming, in Mario Kart World when it came to in-game billboards.
They are claimed to include strange artworks of a bridge, skyscraper and car with features that make it look as though AI created them, such as wonky lines, strange designs and unusual features.
And in a statement shared with Eurogamer, Nintendo clarified if this was the case or not.
