Police were called to Dragon Con after an artist was accused of selling A.I.-generated artwork at their booth.
Vendor Oriana Gerez faced backlash and was asked to leave, sparking heated debate across social media platforms.
Dragon Con currently lacks a clear public policy addressing A.I. art in its Artist Alley or exhibition guidelines.
Controversy follows past A.I. art incidents, with the Dragon Awards and Fan Expo Canada grappling with similar issues.

What kind of stuff is in the boxes? Action figures?

The stuff they couldn't sell the last few times before that.

Makes sense.

Yeah and other collectibles. Think loot boxes in real life.
