San Diego Comic-Con will no longer allow AI 'art' to be displayed at their event
"Material created by AI either partially or wholly, is not allowed in the art show"
This follows backlash from artists after SDCC initially indicated AI-generated work would be permitted

If enough writers and artists threaten to pull out over the inclusion of the theft machine, I'll bet you Comic-Con will
reverse course.

Comic-Con should be a celebration of illustrators, comic artists, writers and so on. Elevating the actual craftsmen and women who make the works that fans love!
Instead it opens the door to slop that can only exist due to the stolen work of those same creatives, to then displace creatives. Gross!
