Neowiz Draws Backlash Over AI Creator Role Using Stable Diffusion and Midjourney
2 articles · Updated · Push Square · May 11
Neowiz is facing online criticism after a newly surfaced job listing sought an “AI creator” or “AI artist” for game development work.
The posting explicitly calls for generative AI to produce textures, create assets, draft character and environment concepts, and train unique AI models to shape a project’s visual identity.
Reddit and gaming sites have focused on the role’s reliance on tools such as Stable Diffusion and Midjourney, intensifying concerns over AI-generated content built from existing works.
The dispute reflects a wider industry split: AI use to speed workflows often draws less resistance than AI-made assets in shipped games, even as studios increasingly invest in AI-assisted development.
Can AI artists deliver the next blockbuster, or will player backlash against 'soulless' games sink the multi-million dollar sequel?
As courts deny copyright to AI-generated art, is Neowiz building its next hit game on legally unprotected assets?
