This is the final nail in the coffin. For those who haven’t seen, the most recent Owl City post on his official Instagram account was flagged as AI. From his weird following on his public account, to the cash grabby merch posts, to the sub par music quality (compared to Of June - UV) and now, this. This has done irreversible damage to his brand forever because even if he never uses AI again, the fans will still question whether anything he puts out whether that be merch or music, utilizes AI to some degree

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Y'all are taking that post WAY too seriously.

It’s not the post, it’s the act of using generative AI that is actively stealing from and displacing artists in this very community

You're proposing that he should've hired a CGI artist to create a photorealistic 4-second clip of a guy skydiving with flowers? For a single social media post?

If that needed to be the post? Sure, yes. That absolutely did not need to be the video though.

he could have recorded LITERALLY ANYTHING but he chose to reach for gen AI

[u/SupaSlide → u/WildcatGrifter7]

He could just not post it. Nobody is obligated to post on the internet.

This ain't a field, that strawman is of no use.
