2024 寶可夢 TCG 卡圖美術比賽開跑，玩家們有機會將自己繪製的作品登上實體卡片並獲得最高 5000 美元的獎金。然而，主辦方移除了多個晉級作品的參賽資格，也進而引發 AI 生成圖像的爭議。
今年比賽的主題是「魔幻的寶可夢時刻」，官方已於 6 月 14 日開了前 300 名晉級作品。然而，官方認為部份作品「違反官方規章」，因此對其判處喪失資格，名次將由後續的作品遞補上來。

雖然官方並未明說，但不少網友質疑這些失格作品與 AI 有關。這也無可厚非，畢竟 AI 繪圖近年蓬勃發展，許多美術相關比賽、活動或多或少都會捲入相關爭議。在官方 X（舊稱推特）貼文底下甚至能看到不少網友針對 AI 繪圖的謾罵。
LETS GO, AI ANDROIDS LOSE AGAIN TRYNA GET A QUICK BAG FROM HARDWORKING AND HONORABLE PEOPLE.

Can we talk about how these entries are clearly all from the same person breaking the 3 submissions limit, and happen to be in a very "AI-adjacent" style? https://t.co/Nzy6Qjs4OS pic.twitter.com/UxQhu2khgS

許多粉絲都讚賞了《寶可夢》TCG 官方的決策，亦有網友指出藉此機會教育大眾如何辨識 AI 繪圖。
I'm going to start with using this one as an example. Things that are mildly sus but excusable are marked in yellow/gold, while unexcusable things are marked in red. Similar to hands in AI generated images, the back paws here are a dead giveaway IMO, alongside crispness issues. pic.twitter.com/qygeFtX2DT

說到底，AI 繪圖仍要靠大量的繪師樣本學習才能產圖，而專業繪師所付出的心血絕對遠比 AI 生成多，倘若讓 AI 繪圖贏下比賽可謂非常不公平。
A lot of people are criticizing the TCG team for not being able to spot clear signs of AI in some of the submissions. I understand the frustration - paid professionals should do better. But I think we should also use the opportunity to educate ppl on WHY we know these are AI. 🧵 https://t.co/l8c62s1Bsd
