After I spotted their AI-generated advert on the Tube, Penguin Michael Joseph have apologised to Jodi Picoult, and said they didn’t know the imagery was AI-generated - I’ve written about it in @thetimes today, including some of the reasons I knew it was AI. 🤖🌄
Jodi Picoult ‘dismayed’ at AI advert for By Any Other Name | @thetimes buff.ly/3AetZj6
My story out today: Penguin has apologised to “dismayed” Jodi Picoult for using AI to promote By Any Other Name. PRH says it didn’t know the imagery was AI-generated as it had used an external creative agency 🧐
I was very surprised to see this clearly AI-generated poster on the Tube, given Penguin Random House & Jodi Picoult’s strong positions against AI training. As a result of my spot, PRH - who say they didn’t know it was AI - have apologised to “dismayed” Picoult. In @thetimes 2day

‘By instilling a culture of shame, stigma and silence, its critics are working to bring about the very scenario they fear.’ AI can have a creative role in film, writes @octaviarose:👇buff.ly/46NrnEF
‘Most shots look rather like paintings, and the low frame rate and constantly shifting objects and facial expressions suffuse the whole film with a dreamlike quality.’ We can harness AI’s imaginative power, writes @octaviarose:👇buff.ly/46NrnEF
‘I was treated to women holding miniature wine glasses, floating limbs, unusual finger counts, and plug sockets from a parallel universe.’ How creative is AI? Read @octaviarose:👇buff.ly/46NrnEF
