Nexon Stock Dips Amid AI-Generated Ad Controversy
Nexon's shares fell Wednesday following allegations the video game developer used AI to appropriate a streamer's likeness without consent. DanieltheDemon, a Twitch personality with 78,000 followers, claims The First Descendant's promotional campaign features manipulated footage of his reactions from a viral video.
The controversy centers on an ad featuring an eerily accurate digital replica of DanieltheDemon praising the game. "They stole my face and altered my words with AI," the streamer stated, emphasizing he has no affiliation with Nexon's project. While no legal action has been initiated, the incident risks alienating the creator's fanbase.
