I personally hate it that people are posting AI crap here now. I put AI in the same category as fan fiction.

"John" was a crying, whining loser baby and stupid..... "Lindsey" pressured "Stevie" to have a baby with him.... the whole thing was just AWFUL.

but I did get to see Christine's (former) house in Belgravia (just from outside) and got some pics like the geek that I am.

Yes, I agree. But has it really appeared with this new generation? I remember reading fake news, nonsense gossip, sh*t about actors, bands, etc. since tabloids exist. There's an album out there called Rumours for a reason. And don't tell there were just innocent, kind rumours.


The difference is that now it is not an exclusive thing of press, magazines, etc. It's everywhere, and anyone can write it. And when I say anyone, I mean not just the Gen Z.

it's gone to more epic proportions in recent years. there have always been shippers, but this is a whole new level of just disregarding facts...if they even know the facts. They know one very limited version of revisionist history based on the stage antics of the band which the band themselves have admitted is purely performance essentially to feed the shippers and such. They don't know any of the factual history, like not even a little. It's pure made up nonsense. And heaven help you if you actually cite a real fact.....

And they don’t even bother to watch that many stage performances. They watch about 3 on YouTube and all their speculation is based on that.

They don't seem to appreciate hearing facts. i am always frowning in bewilderment when i read their accounts of what they think happened. it's draining lol

This one is supposed to be "fleetwood mac rumours album cover painted in the van gogh art style". Well if this is AI I think it is not enough intelligent. I've not seen this shot in any of the Rumours photo sessions. The three guys have the same face, though I can tell which one is Mick just by the hat. But which is Stevie and which is Christine?

They never have never seemed like country people to me. Except Mick of the 70s. His look reminds me of Rip Van Winkle. Maybe it was a notorious look that overshadowed the others? (just the look, I mean).

I was talking about the AI pictures that people generate of them, like the one above.

Agree the actual band does not, so why do people use AI to create pictures where they do

Yes, I understood that. But if AI convert the band look into a group of homesteaders or county people, I guess it must be interpreting the photos it's based on as those kinds of people.

yeah. which is ridiculous.

if AI goes off existing photos to inform itself....tell me how for example Lindsey in satin kimonos and white Saturday Night Fever suits and then jeans and the same v-neck teeshirts for decades generates anything remotely like what is above.

In this case I have no idea what they wanted the band to look like (jedis? alchemists?), or who is who, specially the boys.
