Art Student Arrested for Eating Another Student's AI-Generated Work
January 20, 2026
An art student at the University of Alaska is in trouble with the law following a bizarre protest wherein he ate another student's AI-generated work. According to a local media report, the wild incident occurred last Thursday at the college's Fairbanks campus, where MFA student Nick Dwyer had an exhibition entitled 'Shadow Searching: ChatGPT psychosis.' The work consisted of 150 AI-generated images produced by the artist to convey his own experience of the concerning phenomenon. While Dwyer may have been sounding the alarm about the mental health issues associated with the technology, a fellow student used the exhibition to convey his own misgivings with AI by audaciously eating some of the pieces.
