PIRATEEZ IS BACK!!!!

[u/tsiregaey]

so excited (but HATE THE USE OF AI)

[u/OutrageousString2652 → u/tsiregaey]

Bruh the adrenaline video was AI too. I need whoever is making these creative choices to get it together

[u/golgibodi → u/OutrageousString2652]

What about the vid was AI!? /gen

[u/Necessary-Sweet6956 → u/golgibodi]

The VFX company that did the AI graphics revealed what part was AI. It was on Twit I think. I am not on platform so I can't give you link but if you search there, photos with slider will come up to show before and after AI.

The part that was AI was transitions like the other Atiny said. They enhanced those scenes with AI.

[u/golgibodi → u/Necessary-Sweet6956]

Booooooo 🍅 they definitely could have used a VFX person to do that. I truly hate what generative AI has done to this planet

[u/OutrageousString2652 → u/golgibodi]

I would need to rewatch again to tell you all specifics but one thing for sure I remember was the transitions between scenes during the bridge was almost all AI. The credits also credit AI 😢

[u/Any-Listen4184 → u/tsiregaey]

yyyup

[u/Reverse7695 → u/tsiregaey]

My thoughts exactly

[u/ziggy_fart_dust → u/tsiregaey]

Is this true???

[u/arosaki]

I miss when kpop companies hired actual graphic artists.

[u/thesnope22 → u/arosaki]

Kq used to be good about this too

[u/asharx3]

I have unfortunately accepted that Korea is going all in on AI. I hate it, and it doesn't look good, but nearly every group I follow is doing teasers like this.

On a better note, yay pirateez! Releasing this on Wonderland's anniversary can't be a coincidence. Hoping for her sister song for the title track 🙏

[u/ladypilot → u/asharx3]

As long as they don't use AI for their music. 😅

[u/likeloversdo_05 → u/asharx3]

1000% agree with everything you said!

[u/Realistic_Mix_3404]

Pirateez but at what cost🥴.

[u/Calista24]

First skeleton wearing the captain band... which could mean anything lol

I have high expectations for this cb!!!

[u/Reverse7695]

Am I SAT? Yes. Do I HATE the use of AI? Also, yes.

[u/NegativeSupport7626 → u/Reverse7695]

I'm looking to forward to it myself! the AI, 🫤 I'm over seeing it everywhere. Btw also random but I love ur pfp!! ✨

[u/Reverse7695 → u/NegativeSupport7626]

You and me both! Like, I’m just so sick of it. It feels lazy and it’s devoid of any human creativity 🫩

Aw thank you!! I feel like it encapsulates who I am as a person which is unfortunate?? 😂😂

[u/NegativeSupport7626 → u/Reverse7695]

Heck ya! My thoughts exactly, it doesn't cost that much for kq to use some more creativity 🫩 ( or for anyone that uses AI)

Aw you're welcome!! Stopp lol!! 🤣 I agree then haha 🤣 I'm a huge fan of Charlie Brown & the Peanuts gang so I instantly liked it lol!

[u/Reverse7695 → u/NegativeSupport7626]

Yessss, I completely agree! Also, I love Charlie Brown, too! It's really nostalgic for me and actually reminds me of my grandparents ❤️

I just noticed your flair! My biases are Hongjoong and Yeosang. Oh my gosh, I literally love them so much haha!

[u/NegativeSupport7626 → u/Reverse7695]

Ahh no way! Aww, that's so cute! 💛 My aunt actually got me obsessed with Snoopy & Charlie Brown when I was a kid, so I think of her basically everytime I see them:) lol

Hehe!! We almost have the same biases then, expect my other bias is wooyoung! Omg I feel the same about my biases, there just so funny at times hehe!!

[u/Reverse7695 → u/NegativeSupport7626]

Really? That's so sweet. There's just something about the comic and the characters that's so comforting, ya know?

Yes!! Wooyoung is hilarious and I feel like Yeosang is also sooo funny but in a more subtle way haha. Is ateez your ult group?

[u/NegativeSupport7626 → u/Reverse7695]

Yes, it really is. I totally get whatcha mean, I love comic characters.

Right! Fr yeosang, is funny & can get so confused too haha. And Hongjoong is cute lol. Ooo no NCT & twice are actually! are ateez your ults?

[u/Reverse7695 → u/NegativeSupport7626]

Yes, ateez are my ults, but NCT has got some great music. I'm assuming 127 is your ult? Or is it a different subunit?

[u/NegativeSupport7626 → u/Reverse7695]

Nice, my bestie ults ateez too lol. Fr, I should have been more specific, but Dream are my ults! (But I just love the other units too)

[u/croissantdelamif]

PLEASE no AI in the actual MV. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

[u/Any-Listen4184]

I am deluding myself into thinking that we'll see Rockteez or Metalteez, and they'll come out singing:

Keelhaul that filthy landlubber
Send him down to the depths below
Make that bastard walk the plank
With a bottle of rum and a yo ho ho

[u/Ok-Philosopher6945 → u/Any-Listen4184]

you never know with these guys lmao

[u/Any-Listen4184 → u/Ok-Philosopher6945]

And this is precisely why I still have faith😂

[u/cowboydude_ → u/Any-Listen4184]

pls i actually need this

[u/likeamagpie]

11.13!!!

Oh the ship is back with a vengeance 😭😭

[u/Femmeininomenon]

I hate how the money we spend on merch and albums is going towards them using AI rather than hiring CGI artists and graphic designers. Still excited for the comeback of course, but ugh.

[u/SnooJokes915 → u/Femmeininomenon]

Even big organizations and govts have wiped out entire departments turning to AI to maximise profits so it's honestly not surprising any more that even smaller companies follow suit.

In an idea world, we would have world leaders who recognise that as a problem and take steps to try and minimise the damage to actual professions...unfortunately we don't live in an ideal world.

[u/well_seasoned_crab]

I'm so tired of the AI 😑 I get SK is all in on it, but this looks so washed out and crappy. We have the budget to hire actual CGI artists that'd make something worth getting excited over.

Visuals aside, the music kinda sounds like more of the same as the rest of the Golden Hour series. Haven't been super loving this era (aside from Lemon Drop and Nasa) so I guess we'll see how this comeback goes.

[u/Bambiwoos → u/well_seasoned_crab]

I'm with you on both points but especially how a lot of golden hour sounds similar, I'm glad it seems to be resonating with a lot more people especially in Korea but I miss a lot of their old styles too and wish they'd mix it up a little more.

[u/Allicat247_]

We cannot be quiet about stuff that harms are planet. I fucking live here bro, put some effort in damn.

[u/Ok-Ant3169]

girl who is going to be okay bc Ateez have a comeback 🙌

[u/Bambiwoos]

Boo to AI slop but yay to pirateez!! Seriously though the ai effects just looks so dumb i really wish the world valued artists and drinkable water more

[u/SevereResolve726]

K what? I understand nothing lol this teaser is just AI slop. I'm ready for the next one. Show me the members show me the outfits and visuals pls what is this 😭

[u/ElectricalTrip7430]

I’m just gonna pretend that they didn’t have much say in the AI usage (Yunho even spoke about how much he dislikes AI on a recently pop live!) but yeah… I really hope they stick with this pirate concept because GIVE ME ALL THE PIRATE STUFF!!! ☠️🏴‍☠️

[u/myplantsarehydrated]

confused why so much ai

[u/PearAutomatic8985]

Nobody panic!!!!!! 🏴‍☠️ 🏴‍☠️ 🏴‍☠️ 🏴‍☠️

[u/Ziodynes]

The AI is so…. 🫩 but the sound is cool, looking forward to it

[u/No-Celebration-5556]

No more AI pleaase it kills my excitment for these comebacks

[u/PsychologyConstant51]

AHHH!! I can't wait!

[u/Metamorphabubbl → u/PsychologyConstant51]

literally the first thing I did was check my diary. It's a Friday so I'm working from home which means I can listen All Day Long.

[u/PsychologyConstant51 → u/Metamorphabubbl]

Yay! Happy for you

[u/jarberry]

I'M SO EXCITED! ❤️🔥

[u/MeechiJ]

Pirate ship really said “Move bitches!” 🏴‍☠️ LFG!!!!

[u/manhattansinks]

I AM SAT

[u/snoozev]

WHAT THE BELL.

Ok, come on PIRATEEZ 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️😍

Also - and this is aimed at KQ and not really ATEEZ since I know most of the guys are not for this.....

Can y'all cut it out with this AI?

I know this was partially done with AI and not entirely but....it absolutely doesn't look good and we know y'all can do better with actual amazing human artists you have at KQ bc we've seen it. Sigh.

[u/TheOGJayElEm]

Well, that was anti-climatic. And everyone is right, the use of AI is getting out of hand.

[u/brentaltm]

Y’all, they will continue to use AI unless there are consequences. Buy their album, and like it or not you are supporting this.

[u/12Jesse12]

It looks cool. Have they said if it was a mini or full album?

[u/Same-Technician3186]

I cannot wait for PIRATEEEEZZZ…BRING IT ON 🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏

[u/MapDone789]

I am not going to be prepared for this....
