ABC publishes details of the incident. Bowie Chong has not responded to ABC requests for comment. Zyllion's website and social media pages have been deleted. Oz Comic-Con declines to state its policy on AI-generated art.
“I did not even think it was in the realm of possibility that when I went up to ask this guy a question that he would run out and bite someone.”

lmao dude what, apparently a guy selling AI shit at a convention in Australia got so mad that people were criticizing him for it he started biting them. I've heard of AI brainrotting but these people are literally zombifying
-
At the event he had a fake video of him drawing them via timelapse but in a very different style. He was asked multiple times by attendees if it was ai and was saying no - then after the first morning immediately telling anyone who asked to f*k off and was getting increasingly frustrated and upset about it and yelling - even at genuine questions…

Biting over AI 'art'at Comic Con, how bizarre https://www. abc.net.au/news/2026-09-21/oz- comic-con-brisbane-biting-incident/107176968

"I've never actually heard of anyone getting bitten at a convention in general," Manton-Williams said. "I did not even think it was in the realm of possibility that when I went up to ask this guy a question that he would run out and bite someone." I feel terrible for laughing at this.
-
"Manton-Williams said her friend pushed Chong, who then allegedly bit her friend's arm..." That is assault right there. Yes, he prompted the assault by "Snatching her phone away". Yes, he over-reacted, but the person pushing him initiated the assault.

Not good enough. They didn’t help the victim, and are letting AI be sold. As someone that goes to conventions everytime I can, this is a disgrace, the victim deserves justice and I hope she sues both the man and the convention.
-
The public have not been given all the details as far as I can tell. But that is News Media for you, they take things out of context. I don't know if the convention organisers have released a statement.
-
it's extremely useful in all scientific research domains to be fair. but yeah the medical research stuff has the highest value for me. we're already seeing new therapies that wouldn't exist without AI.
-
I haven't seen the video of the altercation, so can only go by what was written in the article which clearly states he was being assaulted.
-
"soulless corporation". The corporation who created the event that all the parties attended? I think your Woke is a little out of place.
-
Ok well if you wanna see what I sell I will be selling at the BCEC during Brisbane Oddities and Curiosities expo in Brisbane.

She accused him of using AI and he bit her? How is she physically assaulting him?
