Ice 9 Kills landed themselves in some sizzling water over the weekend once they pushed a merch sale on their web site with some pretty shitty AI-generated imagery. The band clearly is not too fazed by the scenario both, as they’ve issued a press release calling the incident a “horrific headline-making crime towards Redditors” alongside the publication of extra AI slop.
It is at all times a very good look as an artist to primarily let different artists that you do not give a fuck about them and are keen to maintain doing the factor that makes them indignant. Actual mature, guys. I suppose if somebody loaded up Ice 9 Kills‘ Spotify with faux AI “music” it would be humorous too, proper?
“We’re vigorously investigating the disturbing claims {that a} current promotional picture was sloppily birthed by AI,” wrote Ice 9 Kills. “We solemnly pledge to unravel this horrific headline-making crime towards Redditors. For now, take pleasure in our new promo picture, taken simply moments in the past.”
In case you’re keen to examine why AI actually sucks, Erin Reinhart had a pretty good piece about it in The Guardian recently. Otherwise you, as an individual with a practical mind and fundamental empathy, can acknowledge that AI “artwork” is constructed fully on the backs of artists who truly put the work into changing into an artist, and that AI “art” is pure theivery. Or the third choice is everybody can snicker it off and we will proceed our spiral into the depths of the enshittification of artwork.
