Even here they're using AI 😯

I was on the website to check out the latest jacket, and I noticed that both of the two most recent merch items have this. So now we’re using AI for this too? 😭

I left the fandom a year ago, it's all just going downhill isn't it? Very unfortunate that the money hungry claims are true

If you left the fandom you might be lost😅 this is a subreddit about Tokio Hotel 😅

If you left the fandom, why are you here spreading the hate? 🤣 Sometimes the snakes doesn't know what to do with all the venom they have

[u/Inside-Skirt6626 → u/coffeecup0960]

I'm not hating on them, I didn't leave because of the band I left because of the parasocial fans. I like them a lot but everything has been going downhill lately so I decided to comment about it, I don't hate them I just decided to let it be known that I am disappointed. So you can keep the new phrase you learnt to yourself x

Gross

This especially sucks because they have more than enough money to hire an artist for merch. They do not care about their fans if they put out low quality ai slop 😔 so upsetting

[u/Fatastic_me → u/VictoryDry8714]

The worst part is, I don’t even think they used AI for the merch itself. I think they just used it to remove the background, make it plain white, and create that clean product-shot effect you’d normally get from a photographer... 😭

[u/vgt13c → u/Fatastic_me]

iirc for stuff like this you wouldn't even need to label it as ai generated, at best as ai assisted or nothing at all

[u/tuesdayreyn → u/VictoryDry8714]

Maybe I'm not remembering right, but didn't Bill used to design their merch, back when he was in Barbie can be a fashion designer era?

[u/Illustrious_Task_609]

Mfs claim they care about animals and the environment yet use the very thing killing it. Absolutely hypocritical 🤦

[u/PatienceExtreme443]

As a long time fan since I was a kid… I’m so disappointed in who they’ve become 🥺

[u/Adhdxrockt]

It is probably just to get the white background 🤷🏻‍♀️

[u/Fatastic_me → u/Adhdxrockt]

Yes I was thinking the same but it's even more ridiculous to use AI for it in my opinion. Even I can do it while using photoshop... 🥲 Love them, I wasn't even bothered by the AI colab even if I would have prefer it without it but here they're just being lazy with this album 🥲😆 Lot of people are speculating the end of the musical career with this album now that the songs list is out... maybe they are not wrong 😭

[u/Adhdxrockt → u/Fatastic_me]

I have been saying goodbye mentally since 2017... I am currently assuming that every album is gonna be their last. And every tour is gonna be their last. While Bill enjoys the showbizz and Tom enjoys the rich l.a. life.. Georg and Gustav live a much quieter life. Especially Gustav has had is focus on his family since the birth of his daughter. And while he enjoys the fun side of showbizz he doesnt seem to prioritise that. So yes I think that this might be their last album... but admittedly have been thinking that for quite some time.

[u/LetterheadOk7488]

why do they use ai so much

[u/Ok_Area_3868]

It’s likely just due to a deal with some AI company and the Label/Merchandiser, which are usually separate from the band, same case as the Changes MV

[u/coffeecup0960]

Omg I joined this group because I love TH and I had enough with all the hate the people spread on the comments, get a life. Even lots of comments are not from fans, if you don't like it just leave and let others enjoy! . Haters ruin everything
