Unfinished Keith Haring Art Completed by AI Sparks Backlash

User @DonnelVillager used AI to complete Keith Haring's unfinished 'Untitled Painting' from 1989, originally left blank to symbolize lives lost to HIV/AIDS.

@DonnelVillager prefaced the post by saying AI allows us to "complete what [Haring] couldn't finish."
-
User @aodanhill also used AI to simulate Haring's reaction, with AI responding positively about the "vibrant tapestry."

Many criticized these uses of AI as erasing the meaning behind Haring's conceptual artwork.
