The owner of the Danziger Gallery has released a statement defending his actions after putting an AI-generated version of Ansel Adams' Moonrise on sale at The Photography Show in New York. PetaPixel reported yesterday that the Ansel Adams Publishing Right Trust put out a statement over the weekend making clear that it did not authorize, endorse, consent to, or acquiesce in the AI-generated color version' of Moonrise presented by Danziger Gallery at AIPAD. Rather than this being about the AI tools used by Danziger, the Adams Trust says it's fundamentally about artists' rights and moral rights.

"Due to time constraints, I wasn't able to get permission to use official photos," Fox stated during the panel. "And, because our CEO has been keen on incorporating AI tools into our daily work, I decided to create an AI approximation of the famous artist that we've worked with on The Primals... and I did this to much success. And by much success, I mean no success."

But unlike other versions, this one requires no subscription, lets you swap out the surrounding frame and doesn't require an app to upload the art. Instead, a built-in mic picks up your idea, sends it to OpenAI and creates an image that pops up in a few moments on the screen. The on-board accelerometer even knows whether the device is in landscape or portrait orientation, and applies the correct format.

A lot of the ire in the Metascore reviews is focused on the game's "lackluster" multiplayer-only campaign, faulty matchmaking, litany of bugs, and very unfavorable comparisons with Arc Raiders, but the use of AI also comes up a great deal as people vent their frustrations. It was noticed immediately after launch that the latest entry in one of the biggest franchises in the world had used AI-plagiarized art for player banners, calling cards and even artwork within the campaign.

Anno 117: Pax Romana takes the franchise's city-building formula back to the ancient empire but used modern generative AI tools in the development process. Fans have already begun ripping into one particularly egregious-looking piece of AI-generated imagery that appears in the background during a loading screen. "Very big difference between this and the high quality background art and loading screens of Anno 1800," one fan wrote. Ubisoft tells Kotaku it'll be replacing the offending image in an upcoming patch.

Spike Jonze's Gucci movie The Tiger is quite something both as a film and piece of branding. With strong acting from an ensemble cast including Demi Moore, Ed Norton, and Elliot Page, it weaves contemporary themes and a White Lotus-like atmosphere with sleek cinematography and bold brand storytelling and aesthetics.

Ever been to Dragon Con? I'll be honest, I haven't myself. But from what I've heard, it's one of the most glorious celebrations of nerd culture on the planet. Every Labor Day weekend, Atlanta transforms into a carnival of comic books, sci-fi, fantasy, and everything in between. So hopefully not the kind of place where you need to be clued up on how to spot AI art.
