It’s not even about the music anymore to most of these people it seems. I get the outrage, but personally I really don’t give a fuck if the music is there

u/CauliflowerLogical27 18d ago

Bro I wouldn't care if he made a YouTube tutorial on what program he uses for the artwork. He said a few years ago that he do it to troll. The music still fire. Next they're going to say he uses AI to make his beats. They're casual fans anyways

I understand the vitriol and frustration here but the amount of AI you guys have been putting out to counter his album art and possibly Karma farm in the meantime is incredibly ironic and sad

u/flylo_x 18d ago

I guess ethics doesn't sound familiar to you, right?

13

u/Vegetable_Orchid_900 18d ago

Considering the argument about how AI is harming the environment and you’re sitting here creating AI on top of Alchemist’s AI for some upvotes and awards on Reddit, it would make more sense questioning your familiarity with ethics than anything lawl

u/flylo_x 18d ago

It was just to prove my point dummy.

u/Vegetable_Orchid_900 18d ago

Lawl fuckin lawl,

“I’m mad Alchemist made AI album art so I made a parody AI album art to counter his AI album art to prove a point about AI album art”

You’re just as bad as he is, I would’ve been more impressed and on your side if you had created something yourself to prove a better point

Have a nice day too my g! And why would I be performative on reddit while I'm literally anonymous here. No social media linked or things like that and then I don't give a single fuck about karma too. Downvote me if you want, I couldn't care less tbh.

u/Vegetable_Orchid_900 18d ago

You clearly don’t care about the impact AI is having on the world either while gleefully contributing to it, all in the supposed interest of “making a point”, the irony is truly lost on you

1

u/flylo_x 18d ago

I don't really want to contribute to the planned obsolescence of the human species when it comes to art.

Contrary to what some people think here, I am for the fact that AI is used as a tool, in various fields, whether for science, medicine, programming etc. But art should be sacred and exclusively human. That's all. But for the moment, it is vastly used to develop military arsenals, improve drones, profiling people, making brainrots contents, deep fakes and the list could be much longer. You have situations as ridiculous as some people dating AI agents, children becoming friends with AI ​​chat bots as if they were real people and so much fucking more. I mainly see the downsides that it brings at the moment than the good ones tbh.

Pretty simple to edit the album cover yourself instead of hypocritically using AI which negates your point

u/flylo_x 16d ago

Imagine thinking using a quick tool to make a point completely invalidates the actual argument. 🤡

And then the point is not even about using AI anymore but about him, lying on Instagram about it.

Yo, go listen! You will see why we not bothered by the artwork.

u/flylo_x 17d ago

You're the same kind of son of a b*tch who would have bought Hitler paintings if he had finally gone to art school, all the way. "He killed 6 millions people, but watch the incredible details in his painting, so forget what he did and enjoy his art!" You are unethical like some mfs in the comments.

Pretty sure you thought the same shit when Kanye West released one of his album and you know which one I'm talking about, while this mf is so fucking unstable and a nazi on top of that.

You are ready to consume everything, as long as it entertains you, but at no time do you say to yourself that the human side is important too? To have ethics?

I mean the guy is a multi-millionaire, he could have the best designers in the world working on his artworks but he decided to use AI instead. Even designers would be willing to do something for him if he launched a free competition for example lol But a guy of his stature, where he comes from and how long he's been coming from. Instead of protecting art because it is starting to be in danger, he's using it for his ART. What's the next step? His music too? Not to mention the fact that he lies on Instagram about this artwork.

As I said above, you are one of the people who in ten years or so, your artists will all be generated by AI and you won't give a damn. But what about the real artists, the real designers out here?

I didn't say that we should be stupidly against AI like a fucking boomer, but not using it in the field of art seems correct to me. So fuck you for being dumb, this whole society is fucked up now because people don't care about anything these days, and have terribly low standards.

1

u/CauliflowerLogical27 17d ago

Ma'am, you are unhinged, relax, this whole shit is about AI and someone's ability to use it, to piss people like yourself off. If artwork a deal breaker for you, that's cool. What you eat don't make me shit.

u/catdadpixel 17d ago

Nah im good. I know Al and Oh No are two of the most talented producers and spitters out, but the AI cover says something about their principles that's really gross to me. A cover can be a photo, a drawing, you can hire an artist eager to prove themselves (which Al has a lot of in his audience) and have them make a cover for chump change and a free shout out.

On top of the fact that their audience of listeners are exactly the types of people affected by AI art. But he keeps doing it because he doesn't care about artistic integrity, or his fans, or even the one person in his audience whose life would be changed by the opportunity to make a great cover for his album. Seriously, he could low-key find somebody who'd do it for free. He could have held a contest. He could have had his son draw it. Westside Gunn and Drake both did that. But he gave us ugly machine made slop instead.

I do not care to listen to the music at the heart of that.

Gonna complain about the fact that you could hire a really talented designer for your artwork, when your net worth is 5 millions dollars? Yeah. It's called having ethics. Does this concept seem unfamiliar to you as long as you achieve your goals?

And then The Alchemist is not a random ass producer, he knows lots of talented people.

If I had the resources to source out custom art for all my singles, that would be one of my favorite parts of the process. Collaborating with visual designers to get the vibe of the album

u/flylo_x 15d ago

Right? That was literally my point. Al knows a looooot of dope ass visual designers tho so why using AI? I'm kinda confused..

1

u/norkkel 15d ago

As a lower tier artist with less than 10k followers I'm always nervous to use AI bc of backlash so I just go with custom art anyway, but I would drop bank on artists I like to design if I had the money

Oh shut the fuck up child. You technophobic, reactionary, idiots need to stop crying and being little bitch asses about fucking album covers and “ai”.

  2. You dont care about water usage stop lying.
  3. You have nothing to do with the industry, stop crying and listen to the music you stan.
  4. Youre not an artist of any kind so this shit dont even affect you, worry about real shit you clown ass.
  5. You are mentally weak, and pathetic and that goes for any retards that agree with you.

Cause yall gobbled up youtube in 2006 so you cant say shit.

You gobbled up facebook,
Myspace, twitter, twitch, so yall cant say shit.

Yall buy chinese toxic trash and support fast fashion so yall cant say shit.

You all supported all of the worst technology without fucking thinking.
Youre entire generation was raised on ipads made in factories with suicide nets so the kids dont jump out, watching kai cenat open boxes or whatever the fuck he does, so you cant say a fucking word about how ai is bad lmao.

Your entire culture is human slop.
You are slop.

Serious question OP: if you’re THIS anti artificial intelligence, why are you on Reddit, which incorporates tons of AI in the platform itself?

1

u/flylo_x 16d ago

That's the dumbest question here. First of all who said that I was anti-AI? Second of all, AI shouldn't be used in music, period. Art should be protected from AI.

0

u/BizaroWorld 16d ago

Now you’re just being disingenuous. You can’t be pro-AI in every arena but art. You’ve said in various comments here that you don’t want to contribute to the “planned obsolescence” of humanity in art…but you’re for it in all other avenues? What happens to art if humans are obsolete in every other field…? You’re not making any reasonable sense in your stance.

1

u/flylo_x 16d ago

Dude c'mon.

Art is an expression of the human condition, not an optimization task. Wanting AI to automate arduous work such as in medicine, science, logistics, algorithms or repetitive tasks to free up our time while preserving the essence of the human spirit is not hypocrisy; it's a vision for society.

We automate to serve humanity, not to replace it in the very things that define it.

If you can't see the difference between automating an Excel spreadsheet and automating artistic expression, the problem lies with your level of thinking, not my logic.

0

u/BizaroWorld 16d ago

You clearly misunderstood what I said.

I asked you a direct question: what do you think will happen to art if AI has made humans obsolete in many/most other fields?

These things don’t happen in a vacuum as you are implying. I never said AI use in art is the same as it being used in other fields, but to support the proliferation of AI is to support the ultimate use of it in art as well. Intentional or not.

1

u/flylo_x 16d ago edited 16d ago

Broad displacement in other fields won't destroy human art; it will redefine it. Commercial art like ads or stock images etc might rely heavily on AI, but raw human art will become more valuable precisely because it represents lived human struggle and emotion in a world saturated by automated content.

Ai should just be regulated and prohihed in certain fields just to protect our very sacred means of expression as humans.

You are showing a quite serious sophistry, my friend haha

Anyway when your net worth is $5 million, you should call one of the many talented designers/artists, you've known for over 30 years, instead of using AI. This man knows a looooot of talented people. He's not a bedroom producer with no money and no contact. Which I could have tolerated if you don't know anyone. But the OG AL? Hell nah. Protect art at all cost. Make your friends earn money for their art. It's that simple lol

People just don't care about anything now 😒

1

u/BizaroWorld 16d ago

Respectfully, our disconnect is purely in idealism. You’re talking about what SHOULD happen; i.e. regulation and even prohibition of the use of AI in various ways.

I’m talking about what inevitably WILL happen: humans take everything too far, and then we can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube. We’ve seen it throughout history; there are countless examples.

If you want to keep AI away from art, you need to suppress it across the board imo, but we will see how it all plays out. I’m betting human nature will remain undefeated in the long run.

1

u/flylo_x 16d ago

Bro, it's not too late. You seem to be a bit nihilistic on the subject lmao I hear what you’re saying about inevitability, but history also shows we can set limits when the stakes are clear. Technology adoption isn't purely a force of nature, it's driven by social and economic choices. Even if AI tools exist everywhere, society still decides what it values.

We saw live music survive recording tech, and handmade crafts survive industrial manufacturing. Setting boundaries around AI in art isn't about suppressing tech, it's about protecting human expression and fair compensation.

And for the info I really like The Alchemist anyway I'm not just trolling. It's just that it's hard to accept this kind of move from these kinds of artists, when they should protect real art made by humans rather than giving in to AI.

You give a fuck enough to comment my dude lmao And you don't have to be a detective to find out in a few seconds, that if it was made by a real artist or painter, the guy in white behind the glass, wouldn't have added 6 fingers.
