School administration replacing student art with AI posters
Administrators are removing authentic student artwork and hallway displays to put up low-quality generative AI posters instead. This leaves teachers and students pushed off their own walls, blocking students from displaying their work and forcing educators to take down classroom displays to make room for AI-generated images.
