Looks like Marvel Comics doesn’t either, but Marvel Studios and Disney both have a poor track record with Secret Invasion and more.

One more reason DC Comics is better than Marvel…no generative AI. Not now, not ever.

DC Comics won’t support generative AI: ‘not now, not ever’

What caused it is Domino’s press release and reputable news outlets playing around with the concept of “you can’t spell domino’s without the ‘mmm’” which is guaranteed to trip up LLMs, so now I’m scrolling through every article I can find to see which humans do their jobs and which use AI unchecked.

Sorry 3 different ways.

Lmao “Dommino’s Sans”

Here’s the original press release ir.dominos.com/news-release...

This Dominos rebrand is a fun way to learn which media outlets use generative AI to write for them. It involves the company changing the number of Ms in the word Dominos, and Dexerto here managed to miscount it in two different ways.

It sounds like Amazon’s CEO is suggesting that employees install their own AI agent at work, regardless of what their boss thinks.

Otherwise, why does he refer to it as an AI teammate at work instead of an AI employee at your business?

From worrying about clankers dating their daughters or not serving them in restaurants to adapting the slur to clanka or even cligger,it is source for both well-intentioned commentary on civil rights and thinly veiled racism.

Good overview of how people made a bunch of “clanker” videos that exactly mirror scenes that black Americans have dealt with for generations.

The AI Slur ‘Clanker’ Has Become a Cover for Racist TikTok Skits

The online trend takes a comedic approach to spreading anti-AI messaging, but some creators are using racist references to make their point.

Yesterday a woman posted photos of her 3 children asking the internet to use photoshop and AI to remove the watermark so she could download their school photos for free.

She blocked me, so I’m posting it for other parents who violate their kids privacy. It is bad parenting, and you need to stop.

When did news outlets get so comfortable admitting they don’t even read what they publish?

How hard is it for Reuters journalists to either:

1. Write 3 sentences summarizing the key points of the story they just wrote, or
2. Read the 3 sentences generated by AI?

And also how tf do you unironically follow that sentence with “our responsible use of AI”
?!?!

“A major Australian university used artificial intelligence technology to accuse about 6,000 students of academic misconduct last year.”

Although the students were eventually cleared, many of them lost opportunities as a result.

University caught out using AI to wrongly accuse students of cheating with AI

An Australian university has accused thousands of its students of cheating with artificial intelligence. The problem? Many have done nothing wrong.

People: Hollywood never comes up with original ideas! It’s all sequels!

Also people: Check out this Superman Stephen Hawking mashup I made on Sora 2! Look at me as a Pokemon themed WWE wrestler fighting MrBeast using AI! Abolish copyright!

Turns out Sora isn’t any fun when their users can’t steal IP.

Most people have no idea how to do even elf themselves without stealing someone else’s IP, so implementing guardrails instantly killed the fun of Sora 2
