Karen Bachini launched Mail Club in June; weeks later, he admitted to having used AI in the illustrations. Social media Influencer Karen Bachini is at the center of a new controversy on the internet after selling, as copyright, illustrations produced with the help of artificial intelligence. It all started when she announced a monthly stationery subscription club in June as a scrapbooking and physical product experience for her fans. For R$149, the blogger promised to send packages with personalized items to subscribers' homes, including illustrations made by her. "I love art, I live art. I've been an artist for as long as I can remember," he said in a publication announcing the launch. After the first buyers began publishing videos showing the content they received, artists and other content creators began to question the authorship of the designs. They pointed out differences in style between the illustrations and stated that some of them had common characteristics of AI-generated images. Mail Club products included illustrated papers, cards, bookmarks and other stationery items.

Last Thursday (23), however, she again published a video in which she admitted to having used artificial intelligence. "I messed up. When I mess up, I take responsibility for my B.O. I used AI, yes, to finish my drawings that you are marking there. It wasn't nice. It wasn't pretty. It was a very ugly thing. There's no excuse. I ask everyone's forgiveness."
