Toronto Blue Jays Roasted for Posting AI Slop Promoting Nestle, Claiming It’s the Work of a Human Animator

The use of generative AI in the animation industry is causing turmoil, with critics arguing that companies are exploiting the technology to reduce costs and produce lower-quality content.

Recently, the Toronto Blue Jays social media account faced criticism for posting an animated short tied to a Nestle beverage, which was riddled with AI artifacts and errors.

The team defended the video, claiming it was made by a real animator, but fans refused to be persuaded, calling it "AI slop" and criticizing the decision to use such low-quality content. The incident highlights the growing dissatisfaction with the widespread use of generative AI and the negative impact it has on creativity and quality.
