Why would they use a stock image of Loki? That already seems like its own copyright issue. Any image or likeness of a Disney character isn't exactly "stock".

    It's just the spiraling clock in the background in question, not the Loki stuff.

    I mean, besides the Roman numeral mistake and Shutterstock's licensing rules, which is just a side conversation, what's the backlash?

    Are we supposed to be immediately outraged when some artist uses some level of AI-generation when trying to create something? Is everybody going to be outraged when somebody uses Photoshop Generative Fill, or is that suddenly okay because it's part of a commercial tool?
