this all could have been avoided!
So, to sum up, an AI watermark appeared on art for the work of an anti-AI streamer in a pro-AI game, but it was not directly the fault of the pro-AI developer (though the developer absolutely should have caught this), nor was it the fault of the original logo artist, who did not use AI. Instead, a music distributor that does not appear to have qualms with AI failed to notify the streamer of AI usage on what is, at the end of the day, a simple embellishment of a preexisting logo. This resulted in days of grief and multiple headaches for those involved—all over something that could easily have been done by hand. 

And, per usual with AI, the specific person or people who made these choices remain unidentified. Are they still employed? Will they face even slight consequences? Impossible to say. The takeaway: Just don’t use AI! Generally, yes, but especially with something like this, which in all other senses should have been so, so easy.

Probably burned my remaining bridges in the business, but I recently put out a statement regarding the increasing use of “generative AI” in British indie wrestling.
I’ve seen more and more promotions and wrestlers using generative AI, some of whom I work with, and I want to make something VERY clear: 

I do not give anybody permission to use my likeness in any AI-generated posters, promos, clips, etcetera, and I consider any such use to be a personal and professional violation. 

Do not feed me to a tech company’s algorithm. They’ve stolen enough of my writing and video material for their “AI training” already. That’s how Alleged Intelligence works, by the way - it’s a plagiarism tool, regurgitating every shred of “content” fed to it. 

Leaving aside the horrific impact AI data centers have on the environment, you’re not creating anything by typing prompts into a box. Why should anyone be impressed with some cool photoshoot, promo, or move when you didn’t really do it? At best, Alleged Intelligence is self-insert reality fanfic and it makes wrestling truly live up to its reputation as fake. 

I won’t try to sway you away from it, but I hope you reconsider and really look into AI. Whatever you do, leave me out of it. 

Commander Sterling.
