The Cayenne Turbo Electric was added as a drivable vehicle on May 23. The Unreal Engine X account posted about the Epic Games and Porsche collaboration, but later deleted an image after users accused it of looking AI-generated. Some users downloaded the image before it was taken down. The image appeared to contain incorrect or distorted branding, including a visibly altered Porsche logo and an unexpected Riot Games logo. The Unreal Engine account later reuploaded the same image and stated that the left image was a concept provided by the Porsche team and not reflective of the final version of the car configurator. The presence of the Riot Games logo was not explained, raising questions about how it passed quality control and whether AI was used by Porsche or a design vendor.
"Earlier today, the official Unreal Engine X account began posting about Epic Games and Porsche's collaboration, following the Cayenne Turbo Electric being added to the game as a drivable vehicle on May 23. However, it later deleted one of the images featuring the vehicle following a wave of accusations that it looked suspiciously like AI-generated slop."
"Users on managed to download it before the Unreal Engine account took it down. As other users on X pointed out in the quote-tweets, there are elements to the image that make it appear to be not least of them the fact that the Porsche logo itself is, shall we say, jacked. Weirdly, for whatever reason, the image also featured the logo of AI-generated, League of Legends creator Riot Games."
"Stranger still, the Unreal Engine X account later reuploaded the deleted image in a follow-up post so it could explain that the image was created by Porsche, not Epic Games. The second paragraph of the post states, "Note: The image on the left is a concept image provided by the Porsche team and is not reflective of the final version of Porsche's car configurator.""
