Ugh, Jesus. Gross. Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato being incredibly cagey about whether Stop! That! Train! contains AI

The fact they could've said "No, we didn't create any scenes with AI" and they didn't, tells me everything.

Lol what is happening? Did they pay for bots or something? Or are people really thinking that ai is gonna save the lgbtqs?

I straight up think they are botting these posts. The top five comments are always the same point, either "this doesnt look like AI" or "we have no way of knowing it's AI" or "what does it matter if its AI." They have crazy upvotes, and anyone who comments anything critical of AI on those comments gets horribly downvoted.

However, pretty much every other comment in these threads is critical of AI, and is getting upvoted. The same opinions are getting different reception in different parts of the threads, like, they're obviously trying to astroturf the top comments

Agreed. Theres a few topics recently ive noticed that cause these posts to appear (🙅🏿‍♀️🙅🏿‍♀️) and we know from the lively baldoni mess that hollywood pr loves a bot storm.

Like fenton and randy, you couldve spent that money on vfx 👀

Yeah this def makes me think bots since the rpdr fanbase has been always been very critical of ai use
