The article doesn't have pictures but one it links to does: https://www.uafsunstar.com/news/student-eats-ai-art-in-uaf-gallery-protest-arrested

The artist's reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/aiwars/comments/1qcektc/my_art_in_a_gallery_show_was_destroyed_over_ai/, which includes real pictures alongside some photorealistic AI generated depictions of the art being chewed up. He disclosed in the post text which of the pictures those are and which are real, but of course some people in the comments didn't read that and took discrepancies in the images to mean that the whole event was faked. Which is pretty brilliant if intentional, fits well with the "ChatGPT psychosis" topic of the original piece. Might have gotten slightly out of hand though since these images are now featured in screenshot of screenshot style posts that lack the context that it's not a real picture.

I also like the memes people are making about it, overall a very entertaining event.
