AI gives Queen a lot more moustaches (and a mystery extra member).<\/p>\n

While a number of artists have embraced AI as a new tool in their creative arsenal, it seems that Brian May<\/a> is not going to be convinced of its merits any time soon.<\/p>\n

The Queen<\/a> guitarist has gone on a rant against the technology after asking one image generator to re-create the cover of The Game album, with hideous \u2013\u00a0and hilarious \u2013\u00a0consequences.<\/p>\n

“I just had to share this with you guys,” Brian said on Instagram.<\/p>\n

” I asked Meta AI to show me what the cover of THE GAME album looked like. This is what it gave me ! Good job, eh ?”<\/p>\n

As well as looking not much like Queen<\/a> at all, the image has been somewhat liberal with the moustaches \u2013\u00a0as well as giving Queen<\/a> a mysterious fifth member.<\/p>\n

May went on to ask new Prime Minister Andy Burnham to stop the building of new data centres in the UK.<\/p>\n

He continued: “So this is the kind of intelligence that will soon be ruling the world ??! Well, great. Maybe this is the time to realise WE ACTUALLY DON’T NEED AI !!!<\/p>\n

“But I’m now very serious. I believe the price we are about to pay for this ‘inevitable’ development is way too high.<\/p>\n

“We must not allow these hideous Data Centres to be built in the UK. They will destroy our beautiful country, like they are already destroying beautiful America.<\/p>\n
