An undergraduate at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Graham Granger, was arrested on Tuesday after allegedly tearing down at least 57 of 160 AI-generated Polaroid-style prints in a campus gallery, causing about $220 in damage. The images were part of "Shadow Searching: ChatGPT psychosis," an MFA candidate Nick Dwyer's exhibition exploring AI's psychological effects. The student faces a fifth-degree criminal mischief charge and a scheduled court appearance.
