Ppl are faking in progress and concept images these days too

But it's funny cuz most of them that fake it to begin with don't even know how templates and ish work for that kind of thing nor do they show the actual work station they made it in

didnt know that thats crazy the scam goes deep

i believe in you :)

Ppl like this have always stole from artists and masqueraded it as their own - with fake behind the scenes “progress” shots

So it’s funny now they’re using AI

That vision being a Dead Prez album with a 'fuck school' song on it

What happens when he wants to do merch or wants three revisions lol

I’ve done covers myself before Ai existed and in this DM landscape of commissions it sometimes can be more trouble than its worth for both sides. Best when its a Ye murakami type thing where you have a label backing you (no $$$ boundaries = endless revisions) and yall are in person going over concepts

Lotta potential over complicating and potential miscommunication in this dm commission landscape which is something no one tells artists lmao

Can’t remember the game studio who made realistic behind the scenes progress videos but the game was triple Z dogshit

Spent all their time and 1% of their crowdfunding on the fake shots and pocketed the rest. I remember Wicked Wiz covering it on YT

What is your argument exactly?

I get why people say f*** it and use AI covers if they arent the type of artist with a major label backing them to truly get the vision executed regardless of money or time + lawyers to handle the long term implications of this artwork going on merch and other things

No one thinks of this its just “booo nigga AI” lmaoo

The tell is using the term “tankie”

For an anti-imperialist

Like people support the American army and have the nerve to throw around the term tankie

Why even make the music. That can be AI too

looks like a s***ty version of shawn kerri artstyle

straight nafo reddit slang but we'll see them neonazis in valhalla my good man

In the shadow of the complications of clearing samples: Whether thru Splice/Arcade or Suno samples and loops its cute that you think we arent already there

TI and Max B/French just used one (Suno sample remakes) on both their respective last projects but no sample snitching right lol

world gone wrong like bob dylan album

Thank you and I peeped your edits but Alchemist is partnered with EMPIRE. He can have artwork commissioned

Vlad Sepetov did Alfredo. Same label

Yeah it's f***ed but now it's created a legit lane of real artists that now investigate ppl that seem off and are able to breakdown them straight lying, they don't care (but also don't respect) if you're just honest about AI, but legit artists now have a revenue stream of busting fake artists

It's insane, and it makes legit artists now have to catalog all their in progress ish now to show they're legit and puts even more strain - like I take screenshots of my major evolution stages of a 3d animation project in its program, and I take screenshots of the raw 2d art progress in its program to show its legit and to ease clients minds or some idiot that takes AI crusading too far in the comments and just ends up accusing every artist out there

Yeah it's crazy, even a few major brands have done it even with their real lazy and super obvious AI ad images n commercials like CoCa Cola a year or two ago

Cutting out as many people as possible to make your little one click nothing art. Sounds like a wonderful future.

If Alc claimed AI is real art and that’s why he did it (even though it would be counterintuitive to then post fake mock ups) I’d understand it more

Millennials and Gen X/Z are so cute for this attitude after 25 years of not buying CD’s/piracy and streaming which is how we even got on this trajectory where no one can afford to pay for samples or cover arts + no music in schools to create a new Chad and Pharrell + derivative “type beat” urban music landscape that AI’d Lex and Shawty Redd 15 years before AI existed

Niggas gotta move beyond reactionary hot takes and tackle the underlying foundational problems that led us here

Or just let niggas keep prompting since its more likely none of those foundational changes since 1999 can be reverted at this point lol

That was all driven by the same impulse. Wealth concentration, downsizing, austerity. And they didn't consult me on it, unfortunately. Glad to know I could've changed it by shopping differently. That's what I consider politics. Shopping.

He knows more people will talk about the cover art than the music this is outrage marketing
