This careless interpretation (if you can even call it that) completely misrepresents the meaning of the original work. It represents the idea of using a delicate touch to handle something with the idea of punching it like a child would instead. As another song by them put it:

“Don’t feed the people

But we feed the machines”

    What was the extent of Syme’s efforts on this? Making each detail and movement, or simply typing what he wanted to see into an image generator? I don’t see it fitting what I’ve seen of his historic style

      This will shock you, but I wasn’t in the room with him when he made this. But I’m not going to treat artists on a guilty until proven innocent basis.

        it’s slop mate. Syme may have prompted it but that’s the end of it being ‘his’ art.
