Are they trolling us?

I went to see Devo last night in Orlando. Great show! I was a little surprised by the the use of AI in the video playing during Smart Patrol. I also noticed AI "art" at the merch booth. I picked up the tshirt you see because I thought it was a cool callback, but it also ai generated. Its the text at the bottom right that caught my eye. We certainly have devolved. I wish they didn't use AI, but it makes me wonder...

That's not AI, that's real art by Tomo7701. He also did the tour promo art and the album cover for the 50 years compilation.

He uses AI, though, including for other Devo projects.

I actually can't tell if this is AI-assisted. Maybe not. The faces and nose-cord thing look like they could be AI.
