Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, once heralded as the living embodiment of artistic ingenuity, has long danced on the razor’s edge of brilliance and chaos. From his groundbreaking music to his sartorial revolutions, turning hoodies into haute couture and sneakers into status symbols, he has been the maestro of reinvention, even as his public image went through tumultuous ups and downs. However, the recent drops of 'Vultures' have proven that the rapper may be getting a bit too cozy with AI intelligence. 

Following the release of his much anticipated and equally delayed album 'Vultures', fans had their pitchforks raised owing to the sheer lack of original work recorded by the rapper. With almost negligible vocals and an overbearing AI usage, the album only succeeded in pushing fans to the edge. And as they were finally beginning to settle down owing to some good news about 'Bully', Ye has unleashed a search for an AI team for Yeezy through his Instagram account.

The rapper has previously also turned his Instagram into a makeshift recruiting page for Yeezy. While previously, the need was for designers and illustrators, this time around it is an AI team, leaving fans with almost nothing to fend for the rapper.

For Ye fans who were trying their best to vibe with 'Hide Your Bi---' and more alleged 'Bully' snippets, the AI team recruitment has come as the final straw as chants of "I miss the old Kanye," begin to rise.

Ye fans get another AI scare

It seems like it was only yesterday when the Internet was guffawing at AI being used to make weird Will Smith and spaghetti edits, and now it finds itself at a roadblock as one of its most thought-provoking and exceptional artists, Ye, seems to have handed over the wheel to artificial intelligence. It is unclear as to what the rapper is trying to achieve with an AI team, but that it is AI has garnered disapproval from fans.

While there were plenty of side eyes, many fans also defended Ye as they crowned him the champion of innovation and lauded him as a visionary.
