 | Very disappointed to see SE selling AI generated merch at Download Festival 2026. We can discuss the ethics of AI feeding off of stolen art, or the fact that any number of amazing artists could have made something better. But at the end of the day, SE is going to be selling these t-shirts for at least $60 if not more since they are exclusive (not sure on exchange rate for it being UK forgive me).
