We never publicly stated this before but after seeing so many posts talking about how bad generative AI. I think it is warranted to address the fact we have completely banned all generative AI from this company entirely since around January of this year. None of our artists we want to use ChatGPT lyrics, AI generated artwork or flyers, and especially not AI generated music, films, or videos in general. It’s something that deep down feels wrong knowing how many phenomenal in house artists we have that can make us great artwork for anything we need. I also know photoshop and can do some graphic design myself without the need to use generative AI. We utilize Claude only for the rough data work to make things run smoother and so we can focus on the creative aspects and general business operations more but that’s the point. While even that I don’t feel great about but the only thing it seems useful for is to make it easier to focus on creative works. We will NEVER outsource these platforms to do the work of real artistry. Also none of these AI flyers sticks out lol. 90% of them look the exact same. Using the same font it’s just straight up lazy. Other multimedia companies can do what they want but if you heavily use AI artwork or flyers. You are not what we’re looking for. Especially from a legal perspective it’s a copyright nightmare and we want nothing to do with it.
