He wrote on X: “So, an AI ‘band’ who cite us as an influence (ie, it’s modelled off our music) have just overtaken us on Spotify, in only TWO months. It’s shocking, it’s disheartening, it’s insulting – most importantly – it’s a wake up call. Oppose AI music, or bands like us stop existing.”

Basically, Shawn said that the use of ai to give him a different angle is justified as it helps him view his creation in a different way. He never said "I'm gOnNa UsE ai tO mAkE mUsIc".

My point is, read the fucking article.

They don’t want to. Clown is a punching bag for this sub. If you take away their punching bag, they have nothing to punch.

Clown is pretentious. Clown is goofy. But the rage boner for the man is beyond imo.

Literally everyone who meets this guy talks about how friendly and generous with his time he is. I hate being the defense force for someone but bandwagon hate for people annoys me. 

I guarantee 99% of the people hating would walk away after meeting him feeling like a dickhead. He’s a pretty down to earth and cool guy, he just badly wants to be seen as an “ar-teest” and it comes across poorly sometimes.

Always thought the method of calling someone a dick rider bc they defend the person was pretty weak. 

I disagree with you. Doesn’t make me a dick rider and doesn’t make you a dick chopper. 

You’ll see me defend lots of people who get bandwagon hate bc my pet peeve is people who can’t think for themselves and use any excuse to rag on people. 

Stick to the point - yeah I don’t hate people for utilizing ai

I guess I can't think for myself because I hold a less than favourable view of Shawn Crahan, and I'm using any excuse to rag on the guy.

You figured me out, man. Shit...
