An AI powered copyright tool is being used to remove AI generated images of Nintendo characters such as Mario from the internet.
That’s according to a report from The Verge, whose own reporter Tom Warren received a takedown notice for his AI generated artwork, which showed Mario sitting on a beach with a cigarette in one hand and a steaming (not sure why) pint of beer in the other.
The publication said a company called Tracer has been filing these takedown notices against AI images featuring Nintendo’s moustachioed plumber and his pals, including ones made with xAI’s Grok AI tool.
