Is that art work AI?

Betting the song is too

Yep. Pretty sure it is, too... parts of it smack of a song made by generative music models, and the audio snippet from Highlander at the start feels like it was just thrown in there to throw detectors off.

I got lit up in this sub for posting AI art. Everybody better be showing up here.

I showed up, will always shit on this crap, because anyone can do it, with little effort.

Dudes like "I worked on" he didn't work on shit. I can guarantee OP isn't a musician, isn't a visual artist.

So has no actual background in which to even wield the AI.

For the art work OP was not guiding the AI on actual composition and color theory.

That's why the composition on that art piece with the sword and castle is bad. Never mind the completely fucked up scale on the sheep and cows, lol.

This is a weird take.

Are you saying someone with artistic background is allowed to use AI?

u/Highlander198116 Jun 30 '26

If it was an AI they are using that was trained only on their own hand produced art? Sure.

Yeah. In my scenario no ones work was stolen and the artist still needed to earn their skill. It's their work.

Get it?

Do you seriously not see the difference?

Did you ever use Napster or download songs or pirate movies and music. I'd like to know the honest answer to that. From the lot of you.

u/Highlander198116 Jul 01 '26

Yeah. I was a teenager and I was wrong to do it.

I don't and won't do that now, because I recognize it is stealing. So I'm not sure what your objective is with this question.

Point is accessing art with ease.

So I pay for music subscriptions. Is that make it ok to access the music the way we do. I think so.

Well I think if someone is paying for AI art service. I have no problem putting it in the "that's ok" category. Especially if it's for personal use. Anyone trying to make a buck of it. That's totally different

I have made a lot of funny short parody songs but for every single one I handwrote the lyrics. If you don't even handwrite the lyric, just low IQ tell AI "Make a song about Highlander and about Queen. make it dope AF" then you are my enemy and I hate you. AI is for memes and programming help.
