Goddammit. The Onion once again posted an article in which a portion of the artwork came from an AI-generated Shutterstock image. This article was over a month old and only a portion of the image. We took it down immediately. [...]
To be clear, The Onion has a several-person art team and they work their asses off. Sometimes they work off of stock photo bases and go from there. That's what happened this time. This was not a problem until stock photo services became flooded with AI slop. We'll reinforce process and move on.
