WotC responds to backlash over AI job ad, says it’s not for MTG or D&D

An ad posted by Wizards of the Coast for an AI Engineer on May 9 was discovered and posted all over the interweb on June 2, prompting a response from the organization that has left fans feeling confused and betrayed. 

WotC came under fire earlier this year after an AI image from a third-party vendor ended up in an MTG marketing image and is now under attack again after posting an ad for a Principle AI Engineer on May 9. The ad began circulating the internet on June 2 with many in the Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons community angrily posting on Twitter. The negative publicity brought about an immediate response from WotC, stating the ad was for video game development.
