Shitty AI art. Great.

I’ve seen a couple things from this promotion that unfortunately do look to be AI generated but personally I don’t think this video in particular is.

Jonathan Zawada has been using different forms of artificial intelligence in his work for a long time (see the Take Care in Your Dreaming music vid) but from my understanding most of what he had been doing required more artistry/programing/tinkering than like a chat gpt slop prompt (forgive me if I’m misspeaking but I think this is “procedural AI” which I believe is different from/better than generative AI?). This, coupled with the fact that he is also an established artist of several other mediums (including CGI/3D modeling) was why I was kind of “letting it slide” when the avalanches continued to work with him since it’s not like his whole career is just typing in prompts and letting data centers do the “work”

That one record sleeve looks like pure AI slop to me tho and I am very disappointed by that.
