A24 has been called out for using AI-generated images to promote its upcoming feature Civil War. As the honourary darling of indie cinema, A24 has understandably received some backlash from fans who are frustrated about the company's lack of support for real artists whose careers are increasingly under threat. 

AI art is already a heated topic of debate among creatives, especially in the wake of writer and actor strikes across the film industry. With A24 joining the increasing list of companies caught using AI art (including the likes of Lego and Amazon) I'm starting to feel like nothing is sacred anymore.
