If you’d read the article, it appears that this image was posted on shutterstock without being marked as being AI-generated, so this is less Disney not being able to help themselves, and more a person working for Disney inadvertently selecting an AI generated image because whoever uploaded it to shutterstock lied about its source.

They didn’t lie about the source, you can upload AI images to Shutterstock as long as it’s made using the shutter stock AI trained on shutter stock uploads.
This is who’s trying to regulate this btw, companies like Shutterstock, Getty and adobe.
AI is a-okay, as long as you don’t make it for free with an open source program.

I know, but it seems you missed the sentence where they say the image in question was not created by Shutterstock AI.
The article also states that it is against shutterstock TOS to upload AI-generated images that are not created by the shutterstock AI, which is what happened here. So to reiterate, the user that uploaded this photo and misrepresented it as a non-AI-generated image. So in other words, they DID lie.

Ah very true, I misread and thought it said Shutterstock wasn’t labeling which images are made with AI.
