not surprised lol

he just wasnt involved in the cover art and video it seems. not his domain, dont think he necessarily doesnt approve just doesnt care really. i mean, erykah is the main artist was prolly someone in her camp so makes sense

he could have just said he has no control and thats it instead of talking about phones or whatever

So is Alchemist just straight up brain dead or something ?

why no one is using ia as a tool

art fully done with ia are always bad

why is he so defensive of AI then

cuz he's the AI-chemist

“The only art that matters is music. Who cares about the illustrators and animators”

my apologies

Maybe he could have hired an actual animator for his music video, and hire an actual artist for his album cover.

Comes across as self centered and hypocritical to be against Ai in your own art field, but completely dismissive of it being used in other art fields

Deleted. What he say

Im personally not super against producers using a.i. to create a sample, which they then flip

Was he actively involved in the making of the video? Did he commission it? Was the label behind it? I guess I wouldn't automatically assume the guy who made the beat also had creative control of the video.

But yeah, either way, he could take a more pro-artist stance, for sure.

This is his song and album why wouldnt he be at least a little involved lol

Like hes not just the guy who made the beat hes the main artist lol

Im actually all for A.I being used in arts but only when its being used as an assistance tool in creative endeavors. Generative a.i for art should be for the most part shun against.

I guess that distinction is what ye, timb, rubin, and Al dont get when they compare a.i to autotune and samplers. They were tools that help the creative process not replace it.

There's a lot of ways a.i can be used as tool to create, stem isolation being the most prominent one at the moment. But theres almost nothing creative about generative a.i in art

I’m against it because it only leads down a dark road

I feel like that can work if you actually engage with the weirdness of having music made by no one but if u dont its just completely pointless and will never beat an actual sample

If you let an AI album artwork ruin a song for you, you might be mentally deficient (respectfully)

Tired of the melodramatic pearl clutching about the hypothetical of an imaginary artist somehow missing out on a $20-$50 commission

Folks acting like Alchemist committed a crime against humanity for using ChatGPT instead of underpaying $10 to a third-world artist to get the same work done

Pleeeeeease think about the environment! Please! AI is ruining the planet and the arts!

SHUT THE F*** UP
