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.
Idk if it’s immoral or not, but if Disney is resorting to AI to keep the content slurry flowing that’s more a sign of growing creative bankruptcy than anything.
They’re using as much AI as possible now that there’s open revolt from many of the world’s top CGI effects studios.
Quick everyone! Let’s rush to defend Disney based on a technicality, even though they’ve been creatively bankrupt for years and no one watches MCU shows.
You can still think Disney is a shitty company while acknowledging that this is a stupid article/headline. They’re not mutually exclusive.
This article is so dumb that their entire basis for the artwork to be an AI artwork rests on the fact that there are squiggly lines. Like humans have never edited any photo with squiggly lines.
According to @thepokeflutist who purchased the stock image, it was published to Shutterstock this year — ruling out the possibility of it being too old to be AI-generated — and contains no embedded metadata to confirm how the image was created.
The image uploaded to Shutterstock was 2500 x 2500. Does any AI image generator even produce those resolutions? Sure, you can use super resolution, but that seems like too much work for AI generated artwork.
Also there were Twitter users pointing out how “4” on the clock is represented as “IIII” and not “IV”. Have they ever not seen clocks with Roman numerals?
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 is no proof that that image was AI-generated. Various elements seem like regular old Photoshop techniques. That image could still be AI-generated or AI-assisted, but there’s no real proof either way.
Yeah, I didn’t read your comment closely enough before posting the reply. It does looks extremely AI-generated, but it’s always possible the artist just isn’t very good.
I think you’re giving Disney too much credit here. Siphoning from shutter stock or ‘free work’ while suing everyone over anything and pretending they are the victims is their brand. They are known for stealing even from artists they wont even hire. Olaf cough
Not to forget the actors are on strike for stuff exactly this. Their likeness being used by AI without being paid.
“It’s a small small world after all…”
Why care about reality when you can just instead confirm your own biases? Reality is overrated anyway.
Oh look, a clever advertisement for a TV show…
There’s a chance this is manufactured outrage to help promote the show
This whole post is a beautiful representation of the fact that pretty much no one reads anything more than the title.
they’re not even bothering to hire artists, why would anyone watch this?
at least they still hire actors (for now (unfortunately for disney) )

I don’t think it’s fair to push out incorrect images when you have so much money you could buy a 1st world country.
You cared enough to reply. You seem really upset about this topic. Everything ok?
go focus on real problems then…
just tell me how much of that real problem can you personally solve?
coz i know for me it’s zero.
