SEA Games 33 Organizing Committee causes outrage

The SEA Games Thailand 2025 fanpage became the center of criticism when it released a promotional poster for the "33rd SEA Games Virtual Run" running event created by AI with a series of basic errors.

Controversial image of the 33rd SEA Games organizing committee.

The image, which was expected to be an official promotional publication, revealed many sloppy details, from the disorderly placement of words to the disjointed layout, causing the Thai online community to question the professionalism of the organizers.

In the poster, the character spacing is off, the lines are misaligned, and the illustrations are unnatural – familiar signs of unverified AI products.

Many people commented that the design looked like a draft, not meeting the minimum standards for a major regional sporting event. The fact that a fanpage representing the SEA Games allowed such a situation to occur has angered public opinion.

The post quickly attracted thousands of interactions and comments, mostly criticizing the organizers for abusing AI without careful testing. Many were sarcastic that the event was of regional scale but used graphics that looked like elementary school students' products.

The 2025 SEA Games marks the first time Thailand has hosted the games in 18 years, but the host country has been caught in a wave of fierce criticism over its organization.
