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?

I think people are mad because they banned technology on the platform and then clearly continued to use it.

Rules for thee, not for me.

Okay, so then why are people targeting the show instead of Shutterstock?

Even then, being mad at Shutterstock doesn't make sense because the person who started selling something AI generated on a platform that doesn't allow it obviously wouldn't disclose that fact.

And you can't just ban anything you think might be AI generated immediately, because then you just become the fuckwit mods of r/art.

I will reiterate my point. This outrage is not rooted in some deep seeded hatred towards AI, it is because Disney claimed they didn't want it used on their streaming platform and then immediately used it to market one of their flagship products.

And I will reiterate my point: The outrage still doesn't make sense to anyone with any understanding of the facts. If the image is AI generated, it was still purchased most-likely unknowingly from a service that is not supposed to host such content at all.
