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.
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.
