I remember that last year (2025), when "Anthology 4" was announced, the official cover art was always shown in the press release (an artistic collage by Klaus Voormann in the center, the band's logo above, and the album title below).

However, when other news outlets published the announcement, they showed a "fake" version of the cover (photo 1). How do I know it's fake? Look at the band's logo. And notice the collage; it's almost different from Klaus's original (it doesn't have that paint effect in some parts). And if you still don't see the difference, look at photo 3.

So, I want to ask you: Where did this "fake" version of the Anthology collage come from? Who redesigned it? Where did it originate?

In recent years, artificial intelligence has become a key element of our daily lives. On the one hand, it has proven to be a highly useful tool when used correctly, enabling tasks such as isolating instruments in a song or restoring old photographs. On the other hand, its ability to perform in seconds tasks that would take a human hours or days (such as musical composition or the creation of illustrations) has generated profound debates and discontent. Focusing on the latter, this creates controversy surrounding doubts about the originality of the works and the fear of job displacement in creative professions.

For the context of the following discussion, since 2020, platforms capable of colorizing black and white photos with a single click have emerged. Initially, the results were questionable, as the images often presented a "heated" or artificial tone that did not do justice to the natural colors. However, with the passage of time and the emergence of models like ChatGPT and Gemini, artificial intelligences have appeared that can colorize with surprising accuracy.

To illustrate this point, I'll ask an AI (called "Fixo") to colorize two photos (one in black and white, and another that was originally in color). The first example shows a classic photo of Queen from 1977. The second example comes from the photoshoot for "The Works" (1983-84). Now you can draw your own conclusions. What do you think? Do you approve or disapprove of artificial intelligence colorizing black and white photos?
