    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    At first glance it looks fine; maybe it even fits into the out-of-this-plane oddness associated with Loki and the Time Variance Authority.

    But take a closer look—disconnected lines, strange digital artifacts, symbols that seem to be utterly formless, and… the Roman numeral “IIII.” Well, that’s not right, is it?

    The user, Svarun, has a massive stock of photos that are also more or less AI soup, and while there is some plausible deniability here, any graphic designer worth their salt should have been able to figure out that the “Time Spiral” didn’t look right.

    Additional reporting from the Verge notes that Shutterstock requires users to categorize any AI stock with special tags.

    These suspicions come after Marvel’s highly criticized decision to use AI-generated opening credits for previous Disney+ series Secret Invasion.

    In an interview with Polygon, Secret Invasion’s directer-showrunner Ali Selim admitted he didn’t “really understand” how AI generated images work.
