AI crap has invaded a metal channel I'm subscribed to with an AI generated thumbnail and music video, and the account of said band is desperately arguing with people in the comments about it (and denying that the thumbnail is AI). This sucks. Don't put shit like this in your channel.

What seems to be an AI generated image for a thumbnail of a band called "The Headless Ghost", of their "Legacy Of The Dead" song.

@aor8722:
Missing the days when AI Slop was not a thing as a metal video.

@ShlumpGaming:
Yeah, I noticed the AI thumbnail immediately. AI slop is crawling into everything now, even stuff without screens, like AI generated menus at restaurants that have AI generated photos of the food, instead of photos of the food that show you what it actually looks like, which is the point of having photos to begin with.

@theheadlessghostband:
Strange that you say that, because the artwork was created by Alvaro Valverde, who has created covers for Konkhra, Elvenking, and many other bands.

Apparently, you’re not quite as knowledgeable as you think you are. But thanks for taking the time to comment.

@huhwhat...whathuh:
Lame AI nonsense

@theheadlessghostband:
Calling something “AI nonsense” without even listening to the music or reading the lyrics is quite ironic. You’re not actually criticizing the song — you’re judging something you haven’t bothered to understand. “Nonsense” requires understanding what you’re talking about first. Otherwise, it’s just a lazy comment from someone with a very limited perspective. 🤘

@MotorRoach:
We're not interested in a music video that looks like AI shit. Any interest I could've had on your band has been severely decreased by this sour first impression. You can't just say "oh, you're not being fair to the actual song!" if you're presenting said song with AI bullshit visuals like this.

Just found out there's a Street Fighter 3 tag fighter mod, but the dev is gung ho on AI being a part of the development, so dont bother. "ignore the folks who talk about 'ai slop', this will be a thing in 6 months"

To celebrate all the recent love for #Hoi and #MoonChild, I fired up @aseprite.org to create some new Hoi and MC pixel art, for the first time in ± 30 years. 😃💚 For the scenery, I used my tiles for the Amiga version, combined with the Windows version's mountains and night sky background.

Pixel artwork, depicting a scene from the 1990s Moon Child game, featuring the Hoi and Moon Child characters.

Kinda hate how "playing an old game on PC" has become synonymous with "it's unplayable unless you mod everything about it. You have to play the DEFINITIVE* way!"

Search bar: "super mario 64 pc"

First result is a video titled "The BEST way to play Super Mario 64 in 2025 (N64, DS, and PC)". The thumbnail shows a side by side comparison of the original game, with a completely different looking version of the game. The left side shows Mario's face flat, low on saturation, and crappy looking (it doesn't resemble anything in the actual game), while the right side shows Mario's face as the 2000s New Super Mario Bros render face (which is also inaccurate to the mod being shown)

Still upset that not only AI ruins everything it touches, it has also invaded niches I enjoyed. Elaborate rom hacks and homebrew ideas that used to be made out of skill and passion are now invaded by AI bros doing it as shittily as possible. I'm just constantly going "is this AI" every time now.

Just felt like doing some design style experiments with my bug man #art

From left to right:

- Roach's standard design style
- Roach as a Smogulan alien from the 1991 Toxic Crusaders cartoon
- Roach as an insect person loosely based on the design style of the 1980's He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon
- Roach as a mutant bug man, based on the 1980's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles art style
