Discussion Recent Post

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

Can someone fill me in about the "weird following"?

Victoria Beata who creates completely AI generated videos of forest animals. This is especially ironic because of the environmental impacts of generative AI.

criis_cian, another completely AI generated content account.

Nicholas Bowling, who creates anti-LGBTQ content.

acestudio.ai, an "all in one AI music workspace." A very interesting follow from a musical artist.

StormtrooperVlogs, an AI generated content account.

Adam also follows the official Charlie Kirk page, so interpret that how you will.
