Nier Automata's 2B isn't the only artificial intelligence now associated with looter shooter The First Descendant, which is being accused of advertising the game via AI-generated ads mimicking real people.

Redditor iHardlyTriHard compiled four of these seemingly AI-generated TikTok clips that they say took them 15 minutes of scrolling to find, along with two others that appear to only use AI voice over. Most of the tell-tale signs are very obvious, too, like the wonky lip sync and uncanny voices.
