Does this image scream "Blade Runner 2049"? |
The Cybercab is a Tesla auto that the company says it wants to produce by 2027 for under $30,000.
Alcon's suit claims the defendants used an AI generated "fake image" to produce an 11 second promotional film for the Cybercab. Alcon also stated that beyond the legal issues, the company does not want Musk to be affiliated with its project, due to his "arbitrary behavior and use of hate speech."
Wow. This reeks of cancel culture on Alcon's part. Musk is backing Trump's reelection, and it appears Alcom can't help itself, going beyond the legal aspects of the suit and into personal derogatoriness of Musk. A big mistake
Looking at the image (above) I didn't automatically think 'Blade Runner'. The image is simply a man in a trench coat viewing a dystopian city landscape.
Alcon is seeking damages due to what it alleges are copyright infringement and false endorsement - I don't see it.
