Apple Music is getting AI labels ‘later this year.’

That’s according to an email seen by The Hollywood Reporter. They’re seemingly visible versions of the voluntary “Transparency Tags” that Apple Music introduced in March. Apple doesn’t say how it will enforce the labels, but it did clarify what they’ll apply to:

“Content providers will be required to include AI Transparency Tags in any instance where AI was used to create a material portion of the content, including tracks that are AI platform generated.

Spider-Man: Brand New Disappointment.

There seems to be some egregious (but unconfirmed) AI slop in art book Spider-Man: Brand New Day - The Art of the Movie, judging by images shared by The Artbook Collector. That any editor allowed this to be included is embarrassing enough, but why even use AI concept art on a project that was rolling in money?

<em>Sure, there’s seemingly no AI disclosure on the image, but I also have eyeballs and this gets worse the longer you look at it.</em>

<em>I’m not sure even Spider-Man can help if you’re trapped in a taxi that’s melting into the road.</em>

<em>These fire escapes are a death trap.</em>

A GTA VI leaker seemingly has a playable build.

A new clip shared by the person or group identifying themselves as “CyberLeek” shows Jason Duval, one of the game’s protagonists, shooting the word “LEEK” into a wall, which suggests an actual copy of the game has escaped Rockstar Games’ containment. It’s the latest of several leaks ahead of GTA VI’s launch on November 19th.
