President of DC Comics Says It Will Never Use AI
SMRTR summary
DC Comics president Jim Lee stepped onto the stage at New York Comic Con with a declaration that sent cheers through the crowd: his company will "not support AI-generated storytelling or artwork."
"Not now, not ever, as long as Anne DePies and I are in charge," Lee told the audience, drawing a sharp line in an industry increasingly tempted by artificial intelligence.
His reasoning struck at something deeper than business strategy. "People have an instinctive reaction to what feels authentic," Lee explained. "We recoil from what feels fake. That's why human creativity matters."
Lee's stance comes as Hollywood studios embrace AI with open arms, despite early attempts creating more headaches than hits. The comic book world hasn't been immune either. Just last month, Marvel legend Stan Lee was resurrected as an AI hologram at Los Angeles Comic Con, sparking immediate backlash.
"AI doesn't dream. It doesn't feel. It doesn't make art. It aggregates it," Lee argued, capturing growing frustration among fans and creators alike.
The commitment carries weight, given DC's position as the oldest comic publisher in the industry, potentially signaling a broader creative resistance to AI's encroachment.
