"The student, Graham Granger, was accused of chewing and spitting out small images that were pinned to the wall of a UAF art exhibit, which featured 160 AI-generated images by fine arts student Nick Dwyer. Photos taken by The Sun Star show crumpled-up pieces of paper strewn across a polished concrete floor. According to the police department, Granger chewed up at least 57 of the 160 images. As a result, the undergraduate student was arrested for "criminal mischief in the 5th degree and booked at the Fairbanks Correctional Center," according to the student newspaper."
"Dwyer has since defended his work, telling The Sun Star that he had been using AI for his art since 2017. He said his exhibit "explores identity, character narrative creation and crafting false memories of relationships in an interactive role digitally crafted before, during and after a state of AI psychosis." The term "AI psychosis" has been used by health professionals to describe a troubling phenomenon in which users of AI tools are experiencing symptoms of psychosis or delusional episodes. Experts have raised concerns"
Generative AI for creative purposes provoked a major countermovement across creative industries, including criticism of game developers and mass protests by artists. A University of Alaska Fairbanks undergraduate, Graham Granger, allegedly tore images from an exhibit of 160 AI-generated works and chewed at least 57 pieces, then was arrested on criminal mischief charges. Fine arts student Nick Dwyer said he has used AI since 2017 and described the exhibit as exploring identity, narrative and false memories amid a state of AI psychosis. Health professionals use "AI psychosis" to describe users experiencing psychosis-like or delusional symptoms, raising concerns about authorship, expression, and mental health.
