The issue began when TikToker SmoothMango shared a video highlighting two melted-together figures on bathroom signs, suggesting the appearance was AI-generated. The developer's director of community and marketing, James Stevenson, clarified on X/Twitter that the glitchy signs were due to a UV map bug and that Insomniac is working on a fix. Stevenson firmly stated, \"There are no AI-generated assets in Marvel's Wolverine.\"",
