Mattel partnered with Adobe to use supposedly copyright-cleared AI-generated imagery for the backgrounds in some of their collector edition Barbie boxes last year.

They were spanked so hard by the collecting community over it that they followed a now-deleted suggestion from one Redditor to start explicitly crediting the packaging designer on each information page for new collector releases.

Mattel has a strange history with balancing what the people want with what their shareholders want.
