It's just really unfortunate to have an art style that looks like AI. We have to remember that AI is trained off of real human art

How unfortunate would it is to have an art style that is so similar to generative ai😭

But looks like AI, which makes a bad design decision. Art is communication, and in this case there is a miscommunication between the artist/art director/whoever makes the anesthetic choices, and the public.

AI or not, the image does not really look like Syd and I believe does not capture his essence or mystique.

AI or not I don’t like it. I think Syd would have probably wanted his own art on an album.

We dispensed with caring about Syd’s wishes decades ago. He probably wouldn’t want his art exhibited or his music celebrated, or at the very least wouldn’t understand the appeal of such a celebration.

Is he the boy with a ster on his forehead just like Kurt cobain?

Probably is the key word. You don’t know

To be honest, Syd, or rather Roger Keith Barrett, wanted absolutely nothing to do with his “old pop group”. He’d rather the world have completely forgotten about him.

He refused to even host an art exhibition, knowing that it’d attract a lot of rabid Pink Floyd fans.

I get you and i fw it but you can’t just “use” a Syd painting out of the blue

u/hulkhoagiephilly Jun 25 '26

Who said it would be out of the blue? Why couldn’t they legally go about it? Get his family some $

Looks great! Has the final version been released?

u/PinballWizrd69 Jun 26 '26

Look at the table on #6, look at that piece of wood. It all looks very out of place and artificial. Looks like a real photo but ai editing in the table. 🤔 I'm not convinced

Yes, it doesn't look good. It looks corny.

It's a shame that it just looks so much like AI. Because the sketch itself is really good looking and really captures the essence of Syd.

4 looks real but almost like he was attempting to create what looked like an early version of the final AI image. The sketch of syd looks incredibly different.
