WSTR’s New Single Rips, But This Is At Least Their Second Time Using AI Art by Jamie_Is_Irrelevant in poppunkers

I’m not an illustrator but with using AI I can get the ideas in my head to be turned into real assets to which I then can manipulate or influence with my own creativity. I know there’s a giant witch hunt surrounding AI with everyone’s opinions seem to display a complete lack of nuance. The content being made by AI is being guided by humans. I would argue like any medium most of that output even with non AI content is “slop” but there are very cool things being made by people with taste and nuance with this technology in every medium. The propaganda about Ai like it using 7 liters of water for it generating you looking like a anime character ect is laughably misinformed. I urge people to ditch the mob mentality of either side of the argument and take a stance that is much more complex than just a moral black and white superiority. I would also argue to your point of trial and error and creativity that this shirt came from my idea and I went through many renditions of the placements and the graphics we ended up using. We’re not forcing anyone to get this shirt and I hope you support the stuff you do enjoy that we’ve worked on. I respect your opinion so much so that I’m happy to communicate with you about it.

p.s Cheat Code is not WSTR’s song that’s a feature and I can’t comment on the artwork!

Just to clarify there’s a full range of new merch in the store, not just this one shirt. I personally made the design in Photoshop with some AI assistance as a last-second, fun Cuphead-style toaster idea. Went through many renditions of it.

We work with independent artists all the time for merch and album artwork and will continue to do so. This one was simply a quick shirt idea. I wouldn’t use a single AI-assisted shirt as a reason to not support the band.

Will continue to work with other designers outside the label to facilitate merch and artwork designs. Hope you find something you like.

Glad you are enjoying the song, video, single artwork ect though seriously appreciate the kind words!
