Disney’s Loki faces backlash over reported use of generative AI / A Loki season 2 poster has been linked to a stock image on Shutterstock that seemingly breaks the platform’s licensing rules regard…::A promotional poster for the second season of Loki on Disney Plus has sparked controversy amongst professional designers following claims that it was created using generative AI.
So people are mad at the show creators… because an image that some designer purchased for a poster… may have been AI generated… even though it’s not confirmed… and even if it’s true, that makes the designer of the poster a victim of a scammer…
So, what, are we just going full rabid at the very mention of AI now?
anything to make marvel look bad. haters are just grasping at straws now
I don’t understand the controversy really. A graphic designer at Disney used stock photography in their design of the poster, that’s pretty normal and extremely common. It turns out that whoever uploaded that stock image to the service used AI to create it, but how is that Disney’s fault? I don’t get it.
The image shows perfect spiral symmetry, which suggests it’s not a fully AI generated image. It could be a base AI image that was edited by hand to form the spiral though.
The same base was likely used for https://www.shutterstock.com/pt/image-photo/surreal-infinity-time-spiral-space-antique-2262957649 as well. Same ‘squiggles’ it seems.
Online ‘AI art detectors’ are terrible and rarely accurate, so I wouldn’t consider that as proof of anything.
This person has made more images in this style, I wonder how old the oldest one is (since this is one of the most recent ones). If the oldest similarly-styled one is too old, then it would be evidence that the image is likely not AI generated.
There’s an AI technique called controlnet which can be used to achieve the perfect symmetry.
It can also be done with Photoshop. For the record, I’m not claiming it wasn’t AI-generated or at least AI-assisted, I’m just saying there’s no real proof either way.
This whole post is a beautiful representation of the fact that pretty much no one reads anything more than the title.
Reasonable people do in fact read the full article, but they’re not the same degenerates that feel to post an emotional and juvenile comment under the forum post.
