UPDATE:

Good news everyone! Comi-con has reversed its course!!!
HELL YEAH!!

Look at what we did TOGETHER! Comic-con has quietly changed their language and will NOT allow GenAi imagery in their art show!

And this happened because you all wrote letters, and shared your concerns! Speaking up works EVERY time!

So congrats friends! We did this together!!!
🙌🙌💖💖💖
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

That would be like rubbing shit on someone’s walls. At the end of the day, you still have shit covered hands.

Yeah, this has been a thing since they first put it in and people were very angry.

I say that to point out this is how they’ve handled it for two if not, three years now.

I can NOT believe it’s STILL a manual process when they can just add a toggle.

Hope grifting on a sight that doesn't payout is so odd to me. I know there are more subtleties to it, but...."bluevoter123?" Really?
