“AI doesn’t dream”: Jim Lee explains why DC will never touch generative AI

DC Comics president Jim Lee just drew a hard line in the sand about generative AI—and he’s not budging. Speaking at a retailer’s day panel at New York Comic Con this week, Lee told fans that DC “will not support AI-generated storytelling or artwork,” adding emphatically: “Not now, not ever, as long as Anne DePies and I are in charge.”

The declaration, reported by The Verge, got loud cheers from the crowd—a sign that comic book fans are pretty fed up with AI creeping into their beloved medium.
