The forthcoming DC film Supergirl has prompted online criticism after a now-deleted video appeared to suggest generative AI was used during pre-production. The reaction matters because it reflects continuing concern about AI’s role in creative work, particularly where it may affect artists’ jobs and intellectual property.

The article does not establish the full extent of any AI use, and the deleted material appears to be the basis for the claims rather than a confirmed account from the production. The backlash concerns possible use at an early planning stage, not necessarily the finished film itself.
