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.
Why would they use a stock image of Loki? That already seems like its own copyright issue. Any image or likeness of a Disney character isn't exactly "stock".
Read the fucking article, man. It's not a stock image of a character, it's the spiral clock background.
It's just the spiraling clock in the background in question, not the Loki stuff.
I mean, besides the Roman numeral mistake and Shutterstock's licensing rules, which is just a side conversation, what's the backlash?
Are we supposed to be immediately outraged when some artist uses some level of AI-generation when trying to create something? Is everybody going to be outraged when somebody uses Photoshop Generative Fill, or is that suddenly okay because it's part of a commercial tool?
"Roman numeral mistake" is not a mistake. Plenty of clocks use "IIII" over "IV". Here's why.
I was talking about the V that isn't well-formed. That was the more glaring issue to me.
