As you may already know, Terraforming Mars is one of the more popular board games for adults - it's sold absurdly well and is so influential that it was recently optioned for movies and TV. As such, it stands to reason that the latest wave of expansions on Kickstarter would be popular. Actually, 'popular' is an understatement. The campaign is currently sitting at more than $1,524,844, which is many times its target of $10K.
However, thanks to Kickstarter's new policy stating that use of AI art in a project must be declared, publisher Stronghold Games announced that it has and will "continue to leverage AI-generated content in the development and delivery of this project." More specifically, MidJourney, Fotor, and the Adobe Suite have been utilized here. That's resulted in an outcry from some fans due to the polarizing nature of AI and the impact of its use on artists (something we'll dig into below).
