An AI-generated mural on the side of a building Kingston upon Thames in the U.K. has been removed after locals described it as "horrible, like a scene from hell." It was supposed to depict a festive ice-skating scene, inspired by the work of sixteenth-century Flemish painter Pieter Brueghel the Elder. But by accident or design (one theory is that it was the work of Young British Artist Mat Collishaw) it instead showed contorted human faces, heavily disfigured dogs, a Christmas market engulfed in flames, and a hideous snowman. After numerous complaints, with some suggesting that it was actually a comment on the refugee crisis, it was taken down on Nov. 20. Here's more from ArtNet.
