On 13 January 2026, Graham Granger, a film and performing arts major at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, was arrested and charged with criminal mischief after ripping AI-assisted artwork from a campus gallery wall and eating around 57 of the images as part of what he described as a protest and performance piece against the use of AI in art.
The destroyed exhibit, titled Shadow Searching: ChatGPT psychosis, was created by another student, Nick Dwyer, using AI to explore his personal experiences with the technology.
