Bit of a late update. I've been chatting with Michael on Instagram while also doing damage control on the whole reboot situation. Here's what I know about Golden.
Michael was working on a completely different project at the time and wasn't involved with Golden at all. Not even a little bit. He hadn't even SEEN the image until I bought it up. So he had no definite answer on what happened with it.
His response to seeing it for the first time was "I hate it haha"
He explained that multiple projects were being worked on at the same time when Golden was made and released. So it's likely that it was sent off to a third party who was the one responsible for the AI generated image. Ross and Janice were completely unaware.
He also said they do plan to re-release it with a different image. Likely something from ALVINNN.
The original announcement post for Golden has been removed from the Instagram page (Not sure about the YouTube and Facebook posts)
With that we can safely say that they've listened to our concerns and are taking action to fix the issue!
