Fans believe they’ve spotted signs of AI-generated art and AI-generated translation in Crimson Desert.<\/p>\n
Pearl Abyss’ Crimson Desert launch woes continue, with a slew of technical challenges across platforms and storefronts, resulting in frustrating delays for some players and outright unplayability for others. And now a crop of dubious in-game images has popped up on social media, too, leading some fans to call it “the final nail in the coffin<\/a>“.<\/p>\n While some of the exhibits could be charitably chalked up to simply being rushed or placeholder images, players have discovered that a number of the art assets look as though they’ve been generated by AI, such as pictures of missing fingers<\/a> and anatomically questionable paintings in which human bodies melt into horses<\/a>.<\/p>\n That\u2019s a little guy. They\u2019re putting straw into a little guy and some freak is painting it.<\/p>\n [image or embed]<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Cameron Kennedy (@cameronken.com<\/a>) March 20, 2026 at 7:41 PM<\/a> Manage cookie settings<\/p>\n Others have noticed that in-game artwork is recycled and reused over and over again, even on the same floor of the same room<\/a>, with one player writing<\/a>: “I get that it\u2019s low on the priority list, but seeing copy-pasted assets everywhere is a total immersion breaker. Just rotating the same item doesn’t hide how fake the world feels”.<\/p>\n Found this AI Painting.<\/a> To see this content please enable targeting cookies.<\/p>\n Manage cookie settings<\/p>\n Too many repetitive AI images<\/a> To see this content please enable targeting cookies.<\/p>\n Manage cookie settings<\/p>\n Not everyone is worried about it, though. “I’ll take AI images over microtransactions any day of the week,” posited<\/a> one player.<\/p>\n Others playing in their native language believe they’ve seen signs<\/a> that the game’s translation was handled similarly by AI rather than a professional translation team, and even some elements of the script and dialogue<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n I believe they used AI for the German translation of the game<\/a> To see this content please enable targeting cookies.<\/p>\n Manage cookie settings<\/p>\n “The sort of comparative ‘It’s not just x, its y’ thing ChatGPT does,” suggested<\/a> someone else. “The writing just feels a bit lacklustre or like random NPCs are trying to be too deep or verbose for absolutely no reason. (More so when it’s the first contact I have with them.).”<\/p>\n
