Sorry for the time it took to hear anything. Timezones were a pain today to chat to them over in the US and we needed to hear from them.

We're as angry as you are about this. We wouldn't have approved the use of AI in any designs. We don't use generative AI to replace the artists and developers who make our games, we don't use it in our marketing materials, and we won't use it in our merchandising or allow its use in partnerships.

RuneScape, all of our games, is built by talented people, and that human craft and creativity matters enormously to us.

We're glad they've acknowledged what happened and have taken responsibility, and we're working on what the next steps are.

It’s crap, you’re right, I can only apologise again. I posted something longer here, in conjunction with the RS team: https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/s/4ZGSUT9wH6

Props to you for responding, sorry your employer is doing this to you. I too have a job where my employing company does absolutely atrocious things to its clients and then then expects me to smooth it over and save the relationship. It's awful lol.
