Ironmouse stated that she was unaware of the AI-generated graphic and has taken action.
Fans have spotted a Google Gemini AI image watermark on the music album of popular VTuber Ironmouse. While the album was released in January, the star-shaped watermark only came to light recently after the album was featured in Fortnite as a Jam Track.
Ironmouse has since responded to the discovery, stating that she was unaware of the AI watermarked image and is taking action to address the issue. Meanwhile, Fortnite quietly replaced the Jam Track cover with a different version of the Club Ironmouse graphic, with the same change also appearing on the album’s Apple Music and Spotify covers.
Ironmouse responds to AI watermark on her album cover
Club Ironmouse is Ironmouse’s first full-length album, comprising 13 electronic tracks, including recordings and collaborations from her Club Ironmouse concert. While the album was released in January 2026, the artwork only came under scrutiny after Fortnite added it as the cover for her “Meow” Jam Track in the game on 19 September.
A Reddit user shared screenshots of the album cover and pointed out the Google Gemini AI-generated image watermark in the bottom-right corner. The white star-shaped watermark is easy to overlook, as the artwork also features similarly shaped stars decorating its border, making it appear to be part of the original design.
Comments on the post pointed out that the same graphic, including the watermark, was also being used for the Club Ironmouse album on Apple Music and Spotify.
The issue was brought to Ironmouse’s attention, with the VTuber clarifying that she was unaware of the watermark and had contacted the people responsible for the release, demanding that it be changed.
“I had no idea thanks for bringing it to my attention. My team has contacted the people in charge of this particular release and demanded it to be changed,” Ironmouse commented.
For now, however, the album cover has been swiftly replaced across Apple Music and Spotify, as well as Fortnite.
Ironmouse is well-known for being strongly opposed to generative AI and has previously distanced herself from products embroiled in AI controversies. This includes severing ties with gacha game Neverness to Everness and cancelling a sponsored stream after discovering that the game used generative AI for some of its background assets.
