July 9th 2024.
Some fans were not too happy about Adele's recent Instagram posts. The 36-year-old singer had shared a series of photos on July 8, ahead of her upcoming shows in Germany. The pictures showed Adele dressed in a traditional German dirndl, holding a soft pretzel, beer, and cheese. The location was tagged as Munich, Germany and one of the captions read, "Not long now...Pack ma's!"
It was clear that the posts were meant to promote the 10 shows that Adele has lined up in Munich, starting from August 2 to 31. These shows are going to be held in a brand new bespoke space created just for these special dates. While the face in the pictures was undoubtedly Adele's, the blurred and uncanny nature of the surrounding photos raised suspicions among many fans. Some even thought that it was achieved with a generative AI tool or some intense photoshop skills.
One of the pictures showed some visible flaws, as a closer look at Adele's hand revealed that there was no fingernail on her thumb. The edge of her dress also appeared to be made of lettuce. These small details did not go unnoticed by fans, who pointed them out and questioned the authenticity of the photos.
The intention behind these images was to promote Adele's upcoming shows in Germany. However, many fans were disappointed to see her presumed use of AI. Some even argued that the rise of AI in art negatively impacts artists. A discussion on Reddit about the pictures was generally negative, with one user even suggesting that she should have just bought a real dirndl and beer for a fun photoshoot.
The posts led to a wider discussion about AI and its impact on art. While some argued that it was just a harmless joke, others believed that the use of AI in generative tools is simply boring. Many fans wondered why Adele didn't just stage a real photo shoot instead of resorting to AI. Some even suggested that she should have used a real artist instead of relying on AI.
Users on Reddit expressed their disappointment with the use of AI in art, with one user wishing for more rejection of this technology from artists. They pointed out that while it may seem harmless for a massive artist like Adele, it will eventually affect smaller creators who rely on jobs such as songwriting and session playing. Metro reached out to Adele's representatives for a comment on the controversy.
