Guy in the Instagram comments of Starkid’s British merch post: “guess Starkid isn’t safe from AI :,)”
You people are the stupidest mfers alive sometimes.
I go to a design school, I have seen some of the most TALENTED people I’ve ever met, and it is so insulting to know that you think all talent is AI these days
The artists were credited for the images.
“Oh but the company keeps copying and pasting the same ‘we didn’t use AI’ message to reply to each comment!!!1!” Guess what. If they said something perfectly the first time, why would the reinvent the wheel. They’re delivering the same information each time
Instead of bitching about it in the comments, you know what you can do? Visit the artist’s page. You can see he’s been in business for longer than AI has been able to replicate art
Or use an AI image checker— not all AI is inherently vicious but yall clearly aren’t ready for that conversation
(Edit for clarity: AI image checkers use AI themselves. I’m not saying generative AI isn’t vicious)
You know good and well that an independent theatre company would never condone the use of AI, because (aside from them being vocally anti-AI) it would be horrible for business
Use your brain for TWO seconds and realize that, for fucks sake. Being a keyboard warrior serves nobody if you’re so loudly and incompletely wrong
