Did the Indiana Fever really use AI in a social media post receiving backlash?

On Thursday, the Indiana Fever got busted for using artificial intelligence in a social media post that drew the scrutiny of their very own star, Caitlin Clark.

A day later, for some reason, they did it again.

At least that's what fans think after the Fever posted a graphic to X with a bunch of words presumably meant to fire up Fever faithful but that had the opposite effect. People immediately called out the team for what they identified as just more of the same AI slop. And while we can't confirm that's what it is, fans in the comments came to a near-consensus.

It's different now. You see it in the way we play. You feel it in how we rise.

And our fans? They're not a backdrop - they're a force.

That includes former NBA player Sam Dekker, who quoted the post in a tweet that said "I promise it isn't hard to find someone that can write a paragraph to your fans for socials."

As for the Instagram post Thursday, Front Office Sports reported an AI tool was used to combine separate images of Clark and Aliyah Boston into one, and distorted Clark's arm in the process. Clark immediately noticed and commented "new hand alert."

The image has since been removed from the carousel.
