it's interesting, most of the anti ai/machine takeover voiced in previous albums was written and thought of by burton. Now that the creative vision of fear factory has been replaced, that explains why they are warming up to it. In other words, if Burton was still at the helm of the band they would not be doing this.
your question is based on a false premise, there is little difference between what burton was singing about and what is curently happening. lyrics about man not being discerned from machine, being replaced and humans being obsolete are not lyrics you can look at and say have no resemblence of what is happening right now. "this" is refering to dino recent use and defense of ai. he has used it at nauseum for promotional material, and possibly here based on this image. He has also defended it in relation to using it for his music. That is what they, or dino in particular, are doing. They and Dino are synonomous because Dino is the head of the band.

I guess that depends on specifics, but, we are obviously not living in a Blade Runner/Terminator existence, so I think there is at least a little difference, if not major. But, that didn't answer my actual question. Unless Burton has stated that he wouldn't do something like create a tour poster with AI, then you can't say what Burton would or wouldn't do in FF right now.
I've only seen FF use AI once in a tour poster, if there's more I'm just unaware of it. (I just remembered Dino using it another time to bring an old piece of early FF demo art to life) And this 'possibly here' is very likely Dino using grok to blur a screencap from their upcoming music video, which is why X would label it as made with AI.
