    Comic-Con boots AI from its art show.

    The San Diego convention previously allowed AI images to be displayed under certain conditions, but has now banned any partially or wholly AI-generated materials entirely, following backlash from artists. The policy change has been welcomed, but without reliable AI-detection methods, enforcement may prove challenging.

    Scott Belsky says weird things about AI.

    Move aside Ben Affleck, Adobe’s former product chief is also musing on how AI will impact human jobs:

    “We must cultivate our sources of taste, override the ancestral ‘logic’ that has restrained us since the dawn of humanity, and learn to be jazz partners with thinking technologies.”

    Uh, sure, Belsky. How did those NFT predictions turn out?

    Ben Affleck says smart things about AI.

    In a Joe Rogan interview on Friday, Affleck spoke for several minutes about how he believes generative AI will (or won’t) impact creative industries, saying it’s “going to be a tool, just like visual effects.”

    ”I don’t think it’s very likely that it’s gonna be able to write anything meaningful, or that it’s going to be making movies from whole cloth, like Tilly Norwood. That’s bullshit.”
