AI vs. Artists: The Impact of Using Artificial Intelligence in Marvel's Secret Invasion

Marvel's Secret Invasion series is causing controversy as it's revealed that the opening credits were generated by artificial intelligence (AI). Director Ali Selim confirms the use of AI, linking it to the shape-shifting Skrull world identity explored in the show. 

Selim admits he doesn't fully understand how the AI works but found the concept intriguing. The revelation has sparked backlash on social media, with some viewers upset that graphic designers and animators may have been replaced by AI for the opening credits. 

The timing is notable as the Writers Guild of America (WGA) is currently on strike, fighting against the use of AI in the writing process. The use of AI to replace workers has become a contentious issue during the strike, adding fuel to the audience's criticism. 

Social media users mention the ongoing WGA struggle, expressing disappointment in Marvel's decision to use AI for the intro. The sentiment is that the use of AI undermines the work of artists and writers, and some viewers have even decided to stop watching the series. 

Jon Lam, a storyboard artist, comments on Twitter, calling it "salt in the wounds of all Artists and Writers in the WGA strike." Others express their disappointment and call for Marvel to improve their approach. The debate around AI's impact on creative industries continues.
