I need to start this post by heavily emphasizing that I am not blaming Paizo or attempting to start any kind of witch-hunt. I firmly believe this to be the work of artists Paizo has contracted.
It seems that ai "art" is starting to slip through Paizo's net. Specific examples are the map of the Yestereve Revels in Feybound which has numerous ai tells, the art for the Runesmith HAMMER OF TORAG sample build in Impossible Magic which seems too uniform and has the yellow filter, and the Vent Viper in Tales From the Vast which has nonsensical scales.
I sincerely hope that I am incorrect, but several people on the two Reddits have also pointed this out, so I wanted to post it here.
I love that Paizo has a firm anti-ai stance. Again, I believe this to be the work of artists who cut corners and didn't mention it.
I know that Paizo is incredibly short-staffed, but having worked for a company with two other employees, being short-staffed is not an excuse to not triple-check things. If ai continues to be used in books with no word from Paizo I will stop supporting the company.
I do not intend this post to be inflammatory, I am simply pointing out what others have and did not receive a response for. I apologize if this opens a can of worms.

I think this is the third thread about this very specific incident.
Oh, whoops. My apologies.
For the Feybound image, there's already a thread discussing it here: Usage of AI images in Feybound.
For the other two, I don't see any particular evidence of them being AI-generated. They could be, but they don't have any of telltale signs of it, to me.
Now that I know there's a better thread, I wish I could delete this one. Maybe I can flag myself?
Many thanks. I do agree that the other two are more likely to be art.
