I actually think the intro is brilliant.
It's the first AI art that I find significant, because it's conceptually right. It's not using it as a shortcut or to not pay actual illustrators/designers, obviously Marvel has the money.
The award winning animation studio actually pitched the idea to Marvel, not the other way around. And their artists are credited and worked for months on this, and it shows.
It looks bad, like a couple of generations apart from actual versions of Midjourney et all (say, what Midjourney delivered 6 months ago?), and it's not trying to hide it.
And that's the whole point.
For it to look unsettling, blurred faces, generic "AI Look" so to speak. Perfect for a show about aliens trying to imitate humans, and seizing the whole AI debate in the mainstream and how weird we all feel about it.
AI *has* a style. And in this intro they distilled it perfectly IMHO, and got the desired effect.
The episode itself, I found generic.
The intro, that was something.
(And it would make no sense to have "actual artists" try and imitate the AI look as I've seen a lot of people argue, then the whole point would be lost).
I actually think it's a critique of AI really, not an endorsement.
Remember, the Skulls are the bad guys.
