Oh nooo, the slop made it into the article

In 2023, the painting gained additional public notice when a Twitter user used an artificial intelligence (AI) software to "complete" the unfinished painting.[10] The tweet went viral and sparked widespread discussion on the use of AI in art and on the original intent and statement of the artist. Many found the action to be disrespectful, both in that the "completion" ignored Haring's artistic autonomy and that it changed the aspect of the painting which stood as a memorial to those who died to the AIDS epidemic.

    And it doesn't even look like his work. The AI should have picked up on his stick figure motif, and distributed them around the field, but it just created a mess. His work is usually easily recognizable, but I would not have recognized that piece as a Haring. Haring-like, at best.
