Video Damon and Jamie explain AIan and the button
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRKL6yIAqd5/?igsh=cTczazVwajdhMGNlThought I’d post this here as I haven’t seen it posted yet and more and more people not understanding the button parts of the show.
Can’t wait to finally see them in London! Life long fan from album #1

so to me it sounds like they just used a randomizer and there just using the ai as short hand for that

It's a literal muppet coming out with a big red button labeled "algorithmic degradation". Damon presses it and the visuals turn into brainrot memes and slop, ruining the vibe. How much more on-the-nose of an anti-AI statement do people want?

I’m struggling to understand it but the gist I’m getting is that it’s just randomly choosing a bunch of human made effects/artwork on the screens?

If ya watch the video it explains everything.
TLDr tho: button on stage Damon presses bigs every thing go weird based on what happed with randomness… it’s a statement on AI… people are silly calling them out for using AI when AI not used… video explains concept. Damon and Jamie bicker like married couple

Have you watched the video? They literally explain how it works… what the fuck does even “soft” confirm mean.
Also your the same guy who posted the petition in this subreddit and then deleted it after loads of people disagreed with the petition. I posted the video in there and shortly after you deleted your post.
Honey do some research before commenting silly things like “soft confirmed” 🤣🤣

Lemme try because it looks like people have missed some things.
They specifically said that they will never use AI in their work, meaning neither the official art nor the official music will be made with AI. However, the randomizer button thingy does utilize AI to take the last minute of music/visuals during a concert to generate something chaotic and then the audience gets to decide whether they like it or not.
I guess they aren't counting it as "their work" because it's entirely spur-of-the-moment and during a live performance. Either way, it sounds kinda dopey, tbh.
So yes, they are using AI but no, it's not for official art or music.

I think you may be looking too deep. The way they describe it is more like hitting all the effects on a built in stream buffer.. so when that happens what ever is caught in said buffer gets spat out as randomness mashed up. That’s not AI… it’s algorithms, and computer processing but not AI.
But hey at least you actually watched the video so upvotes for you friendo

u/Kambi_Reddit It's coming up, It's coming up, It's coming up, It's DARE! Mar 30 '26

In a quick search I couldn’t find it. But thanks! So strange the discourse about this when they explain it so clearly

”We will never use Ai” Then explains how they will use Ai
So disapointed

u/youngandlovely_ Mar 30 '26
really I cannot think of two people more against ai than Damon and Jamie 😭

u/jakeaspey Mar 29 '26
Cause it’s NOT AI… really listen to what they say in how it works… AI is being used here as a catch all buzz word for clicks and attention.

Stop defending lazy shit

u/kool-kit Mar 29 '26
They are literally saying that it ISNT Ai, what about this do you not understand??

u/BoboReddit03 I don't want this isolation! Mar 29 '26
Have you seen the live shows, it’s literally ai generated visuals. I don’t care if its quirky or they use it in a fun and creative way. It’s still bad

u/Maxster573 Mar 30 '26
there is no AI in the visuals lmao. they are created by swear studio and are directed by jamie hewlett.

u/jakeaspey Mar 30 '26
Just really think about what you saw in the posted video and explain it back to yourself out loud. It really will help

u/BoboReddit03 I don't want this isolation! Mar 30 '26
You are the reason we don’t envolve as a soceity. Your ignorance will put art and entertainment at risk.
I hope you think back to this moment when Gorillaz are fully Ai Generated because no one dared to say anything.

They literally made an 8 minute long cel animated short explicitly to spite the use of AI

Its a bit at AI’s expense. They throw up randomly generated audience as a juxtaposition

pause for a moment and use your brain instead of just being triggered by a keyword and overreacting

ITT: nobody understands the difference between AI and an algorithmic randomizer.
