  "account": "Fortnite has replaced in-game artwork after fans discovered a Google Gemini AI watermark on a music track. Epic Games added the song \"Meow\" by Ironmouse, Sleeping Forest & HalaCG to Fortnite last month, but the watermark was only noticed recently. After fans brought it to light, Epic Games replaced the artwork with an alternate version without the watermark. The Gemini usage was originally present in the track's artwork, not Epic Games' responsibility. The update suggests that Epic Games prefers not to showcase art with obvious AI elements. This move aligns with Epic Games' stance on using AI, which they have been more transparent about in recent times.",
