"The slop comes from Seedance 2.0, a generative AI video model from Bytedance, better known as the owner of TikTok in China. The generated video shows a fight between and League of Legends characters Vi, Jinx, Ekko, and Warwick. At a glance, it definitely looks like the show, but when you watch it, something seems off. There's an odd lack of narrative cohesion, with the video making no attempt to logically string shots together."
"AI shills are gassing it up as another impressive feat of expensive plagiarism for replicating Riot's art style, but as an actual piece of animated storytelling, it's sloppy. Kammelin, who worked on 's second season and is currently a production manager at Illogic Studios, said that if people want to pay tribute to the show, they should "pick up a pencil or open a 3D software," rather than relying on generative tools that are scraping from handmade work."
Seedance 2.0, a generative AI video model from Bytedance, produced a clip mimicking Arcane's style and depicting a battle among Vi, Jinx, Ekko, and Warwick. The clip visually resembles the show but lacks narrative cohesion: Jinx walks away to nowhere, Vi disappears after a brief appearance, and the brawl's action fails to flow coherently. An animator involved with the series labeled the output "soulless and deeply disrespectful" and urged creators to "pick up a pencil or open a 3D software" to make original tributes. Promoters praise the model's replication of Riot's art style, while critics note reliance on scraped, handmade work.
