AI generated images of Nintendo's Mario are being expunged from the internet by... AI

An AI powered copyright tool is being used to remove AI generated images of Nintendo characters such as Mario from the internet, report says.

While The Verge's own Nintendo-related artwork has been removed, a Halo-inspired image depicting Xbox's Master Chief playing a PlayStation 5 remains (see post below). Meanwhile, another affected account which generated an image of Luigi as an IDF soldier with the Grok AI tool also said its content has been removed from the internet. "Apparently drawing Nintendo characters [is] copyright infringement," shared one X user, with an image of their own takedown notice.
