They are the intimate, private moments that fans of classic rockers can never see. Steven Tyler, hammer and nails in hand and build a dog house for rescued animals. Mick Jagger, Elton John and Rod Stewart harmonize at the Ozzy Osbourne memorial service. Jagger and Tyler Cheered a bedridden Phil Collins in a hospital. Bruce Springsteen treats the workers in the healthcare system with a reproduction of “If I should fall back” while he visits his wife Patti in a facility.
Personally and heart -warming, yes, but also to express it completely wrong.
From fake bands to artificially produced songs, AI is increasingly infiltrating the music world. Last month, a mystery band called Velvet Sundown appeared in streaming services and collected hundreds of thousands of listeners before admitting that the alleged band according to the words of their creator “a synthetic music project, which was led by the creative direction of man and with the support of the artificial intelligence and composed, expressed and visualized.”
In this context, AI-generated pictures of rock stars were inevitable, but the photos of music legends that have appeared on Facebook and elsewhere are stunning. Collins saved a missing child at an airport and scolded the police because she didn't do her work? Springsteen bought a diner to give the homeless free meal? Adele and Adam Lambert sang together in Malcolm-Jamal Warner's memorial service? Tyler and Taylor Swift Serenaded Queen Camilla with “Happy Birthday” at a wasteful party in your honor? Bob Dylan paid Collins a hospital visit And Dick van Dyke brought an early 100th birthday cake? Each of these completely fake pictures has also accompanied hyperbolic prose: When Paul McCartney and Collins attended Willie Nelson in a hospital in Austin, “the room no longer felt like a hospital – it felt like the heart of music to still beat.”
“These types of articles definitely use nostalgia, and people want to believe this kind of things,” says Justin Grome, founder of CloneFluence, a social media marketing and consulting agency specializing in music. “Even if they are not real, they are healthy. It is not a fake news in the political sense. It is not really intended to annoy people. It should comfort what it makes even more difficult to combat, because who will question something you feel good?”
The pictures are simulated so absurd that they are essentially the music equivalent of duration “Dogs play poker” Poster. And based on comments that are accompanied by many image, they borrow many people: “More Ai-Fabrian garbage.” “Enough of this Ai bullshit.” “How gullible are you?” In view of the operations recently admitted to the hospital for knee operations, his fans were actually upset by a McCartney AI image, which visited him in far bad circumstances. On a Genesis/Collins Message Board, they raged: “Get a handle, everything is wrong!” And “Ai sucks!”
AI-generated pictures of classic rockers in bizarre situations such as this, the Mick Jagger, Steven Tyler and Phil Collins show, are increasingly appearing online.
But the majority of the pictures show older rockers, which only contributes to confusion. Since many of them are in the 1970s and 1980s, it is easy to believe that they get sick (Eric Clapton Serenading plant in a hospital corridor!) Or cry together in difficult times (is that really dylan and jumping steels that hug and sob?). A Aerosmiths Tyler Ki picture, who paid Nelson a night visit to a hospital, led to comments like: “Prayers to Willie and that was nice that Steven would see him.” (The picture of the building A-Doghouse also deceived many fans.) An alleged picture of Jimmy Page, which his former bandmate Robert Robert pushed into a wheelchair, triggered many skeptical comments (“Last week it was Phil Collins”) and just as many admirers (“pray for you to get better”, “You have that, Robert”).
Speakers for some of the great artists presented – Springsteen, Dylan, Collins and the deceased Osbourne – rejected a comment or not answered in inquiries Rab. The Rock & Roll Universum, to the best -known websites that publish the pictures, did not respond to an e -mail from RS.
At the moment, this strategy may work on the part of the artists because the imaginary pictures are apparently harmless, but Grom warns that problems could arise. “The most difficult thing about the situation is when artists or their teams don't speak immediately,” he says. “And if you don't speak, the picture confirms it as perhaps even true. Especially in such a scenario in which the public gives enough hope to have the feeling that it is a bit true. There is a very, very blurry line if it is something to celebrate and see something that is fake.”
In the meantime, enjoy these AI photos of Metallicas Lars Ulrich, who help his bandmate James Hetfield to blow out candles. Just don't be surprised if it turns out that you have been cheated.
