Context? That twitter link isn’t loading for me
Wow looks like they deleted that tweet. The post here from yesterday has some screenshots (thanks @MysticKetchup): https://mtgzone.com/post/376725
That link's not working for me, but from what I could find the drama is about this image, right?
I'm not going to claim to be an expert in generated images, but I don't see any particular signs pointing toward it being faked. It's a bit "dreamy" looking, but that's not exclusive to generated images by any means.
Also, I'm inclined to believe their denial here. I don't see any particular reason for wotc to so strongly pledge to not use these methods and then immediately use it for advertising. And even it being somehow unintentional seems like a stretch. The inner (and outer) communication at wotc has never been great, but this would be excessive even for them.
it would be easy for them to show proof its not generated by providing work files for the scene, so somethings not adding up
