Do we know where the images for the historical events are sourced from? Reeeeally hoping they're not ai. Love the game but definitely do not want to play if it's using ai generated art.

Probably best to stay off the internet. AI is not only used everywhere for image creation, it's resulting in an explosion of web-centric programming, allowing complex app development using React and other JavaScript-based technologies that simply wasn't possible in recent years. -
God forbid I want to live in a world where a website with a paid option uses real human artists instead of the environment destorying plagiarism machineComment

looks like AI
Can admin confirm?

Ah, the cult of media-addled climageddon worshipers.
Combined with a minuscule knowledge of intellectual property law.
If there's one constant, it's progress. Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean others shouldn't. AI is a wonderful tool and you really can't avoid it anymore unless you avoid connecting to anything.
I can't speak for the developer as to where the art came from. There are public domain sources, but they are limited in scope. And I assume the developer has enough understanding of intellectual property law not to take someone else's repository. It would make sense to use AI for a project like this.
However, if the developer decided to contract out all that work, which no sane person would do in the 2020s, I would think we'd be asked to pay a fairly significant sum to access this site. Given the extraordinary pace in updating and developing games lately, and the new look and feel, my guess is the developer is solidly in the category of embracing AI and the incredible progress it has made in the last couple of years alone in guiding programmers through complex web apps.Comment

"It's everywhere" is not a valid defense. Violence is everywhere but I don't want it on my puzzle website.
I do see a lot of AI fans referring to it as "progress". We don't actually have enough information to claim that yet. Progress can only be defined in retrospect once we see where events have led. AI as it is currently understood may become as ubiquitous as cars and the Internet, or it may become as ubiquitous as 3D movies and VR video games. After the dust has settled around the laws, court cases, investments, and social and economic ramifications, then we can talk about whether AI is true progress or an unsustainable fad.
But when I see people talking about AI, I tend to see that anti-AI folks critique the known, public information about the technology, while the pro-AI folks insult the anti-AI folks. I feel that if AI was truly defensible on its own merits, pro-AI folks would not need to fall back on trite fallacies like "everybody's doing it", "no sane person would avoid AI", or "the people who disagree with me are a cult", as though they have their own skills, finances, or personalities so wrapped up in it that they're unwilling or unable to engage in a reasonable discussion. Regardless of what role this iteration of AI plays in the future, I do think its most fervent defenders are loudly, voluntarily demonstrating that nobody should listen to them.
That said, I won't be playing this game. I don't like the art and I don't think it adds anything to the trivia-testing aspect.Comment
