Title: AI Is Theft.
Authors: Cole, Matthew (AUTHOR)
Source: Dissent (0012-3846). Summer2026, Vol. 73 Issue 2, p70-77. 8p.
Subject Terms: *Generative artificial intelligence, Artificial intelligence & ethics, Fast fashion
Abstract: When fast-fashionistas scrolling through Shein's website came across a shirt seemingly modeled by Luigi Mangione, the alleged shooter of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, confusion, outrage, and maybe a little bit of swooning ensued. Mangione's low-resolution doppelgänger had all the hallmarks of generative artificial intelligence—odd textures, strange lighting, and unnatural fingers. Researchers at BBC Verify found a 99.9 percent similarity between the image and a courtroom photo of Mangione. The clothing company swiftly removed the image, while blaming a third-party vendor and promising tighter oversight. But since we lack control over the ways in which technology is reshaping our world, there's nothing to guarantee that AI won't continue to cause such problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
