It messed up a lot of photos.
DPR IAN, DPR CREAM, AND ARTICLE OF THE DPR I’m currently on theirs THE DREAM REBORN WORLD TOUR 2024.
One of the ticket options available was a Meet & Greet package, which allowed fans to meet the artists and take a group photo with them.
While fans were happy to receive photos featuring DPR IAN, DPR CREAM, and DPR ARTIC, they were disappointed to realize that the team editing the photos used artificial intelligence (AI). AI is already controversial, as it is known to use the work of artists to train the system. Many also fear that AI could replace people in jobs.

like it’s not even denoise on Lightroom that they’re using, they’re just using Remini Man

I was so excited to receive my DPR M&G photos, but now that I’m actually looking at them, whatever they used to edit the photos was horrendous

When AI was used to edit Meet & Greet photos, fans complained that it messed up their photos so much that they barely recognized each other. Some have even lost body parts and features.
If you have noticed similar problems on your photos, many tag official DPR accounts on IG to discourage continued use of this software and to release unmodified image files. the more people participate, the more likely they are to take notice of complaints!! https://t.co/3OYAlWC38Z

Many fans are disappointed and frustrated.
I firmly believe that if you buy M&G and they give you a photo that they have edited with AI and all your facial/body features are messed up, you should be able to get a refund

it is very disheartening to see that they have resorted to using AI knowing how harmful it can be to the environment, while being aware of how much money has been spent on dreamers just for photos released to make fans not look alike for nothing to themselves

you can still be grateful for getting the photography experience while being angry about the overuse of AI in the editing process. you should be able to recognize the person looking at you in those photos. your frustrations are completely valid

Fans have reached out to the DPR team, requesting that unedited RAW photos/files be released instead.
I’ll tag the team on Instagram if anyone wants to do the same!! pic.twitter.com/LKhLGHip3P

what the hell???? Would I be an asshole if I asked him directly on the M&G tonight?
also, since I have Photoshop, I can touch them up too if I want 😭 don’t look at my face, I don’t agree, what the hell
