Nightdive noted that it just wanted to show how an AI would imagine what another AI would like like in a physical form.

The studio recently posted a follow-up thread, explaining the intent behind the original tweet. “That’s not how you advertise a game crafted by people with passion for a franchise,” one user wrote, with others expressing their intend to cancel pre-orders or saying they won’t buy the System Shock remake. Some users didn’t like the post and criticized Nightdive for using AI technologies in their work. #SHODAN #SystemShock #midjourney #rogueAI /i4Gwi2bpdQ How can you challenge a perfect machine? Imagine, how would my immortal body look like? Designed by an immortal machine for an immortal machine. Look at you, hacker: a pathetic creature of meat and bone. “How can you challenge a perfect machine? Imagine, how would my immortal body look like?” reads the tweet with an attached picture of Shodan, an evil AI and the main antagonist of the original System Shock.

Last week, Nightdive Studios posted an artwork generated by Midjourney (via PC Gamer).
