Days after Caitlin Clark<\/a> called out the Indiana Fever<\/a> for using AI on social media, the team appears to have done it again.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the Fever posted a photo on X\/Twitter<\/a> with a lengthy text description hyping up the team and its fans ahead of the 2026 season. The text has about 120 words and is separated into six paragraphs, ending with the team\u2019s slogan: \u201cNow You Know.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s different now,\u201d the text read.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou see it in the way we play. You feel it in how we rise. Because this team doesn\u2019t break. This team doesn\u2019t quit. And our people don\u2019t wait for permission to show up big.\u201d<\/p>\n

But social media users are accusing the team of using AI to generate the text.<\/p>\n

One user, \u201cKelsey\u201d (@kelseycooksveg), responded to the post<\/a> and asked the organization to quit using AI tools for social media:<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease stop using AI (especially for things that you absolutely do not need AI for like writing a few simple sentences)!!!! So tacky!\u201d<\/p>\n

As of this writing, Kelsey\u2019s response has just 21,000 views compared to 1.2 million for the original Fever post, but it has 1,200 likes compared to just 689 for the team.<\/p>\n

Former NBA player Sam Dekker wrote in a quote tweet<\/a>: \u201cI promise it isn\u2019t that hard to find someone that can write a paragraph to your fans for socials.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the social media backlash, it\u2019s unclear if the Fever used an AI tool to create the text. The team has not immediately responded to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

However, the post comes just two days after Clark, the Fever\u2019s star guard, called out her own organization for using AI.<\/p>\n

The Fever<\/a> posted a two-photo carousel Thursday on Instagram<\/a> with a photo of Clark and co-star Aliyah Boston<\/a>, in which the former\u2019s hand appeared to be altered. Clark commented on the post: \u201cNew hand alert.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Friday, a source familiar with the matter told Front Office Sports that an AI tool was used<\/a> to try to combine two separate photos of Clark and Boston.<\/p>\n

The photo of Clark and Boston has since been removed from the carousel, but Clark\u2019s comment has not been deleted.<\/p>\n

But the last two incidents are not the first time Pacers<\/a> Sports & Entertainment, which owns the Fever and the NBA\u2019s Pacers, has been accused of using AI to aid its social media posts.
Late last year, social media users accused the Pacers of using AI to welcome new signee Mac McClung<\/a>. The team appeared to respond hours later<\/a> by posting a video of how it created a separate post without using AI.<\/p>\n
