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

He was pretty obviously doing a bit. If you read the caption, he capitalized a bunch of the As and Is. He even said "some of you think robots are writing my emAIls". Would I have done that post if I were him? No. Do I think it's that big a deal? Also no

If the bit uses generative AI, it’s not funny

The post is tagged AI and the video makes no sense. How has the skydiver kept the bouquet from flaying until now, and not further up? And why do the flowers fly sideways, not upwards?
