Baggu’s collaboration with Collina Strada has sparked debate after it was revealed that some of the designs were created using AI image generator Midjourney. Fans were initially excited about the collection, which featured colorful, dreamlike prints and pony-shaped bags. However, the excitement turned to disappointment when customers learned about the AI involvement through a small disclaimer on the product pages. Many customers accused the brands of lacking transparency and expressed concerns over the ethical implications of using AI-generated art, especially given Baggu’s eco-friendly brand image. Critics argued that AI tools often use other artists’ work without consent, equating it to theft, and raised issues about the environmental impact of generative AI. Despite some defending the creative use of AI, the backlash underscores the need for clearer communication and ethical considerations in the evolving landscape of AI in design.
