And for a reason! There's so much tribute art already for Ozzy made by humans, not AI.

On that note I would like to say I find it super weird that every time someone dies all of the online artists think it's like a prompt and they need to immediately make art about that person. You see all kinds of art for sale with that person's face for a week or two after. It's kind of gross

It's money grabs plain and simple. It's disgusting but also I kinda get it, artists also need to eat and these are probably quick and easy sales..

Saw a fan video of watching it live. Hillarious she was calling off each person and then said OMG Its Robert Downey Jr, who isn't dead and it was actually George Michael. Lol.

I am indifferent that it was AI. It could have been made a dozen different ways: but shouldn't have. Which is more significant than the method.

It was weird, Ozzy smiling away with his arms around Bob Marley while holding a selfi stick? No, and I like both of them, and what was he Rod trying to say exactly?

Did Ozzy also do the flying around with Jesus thing?

Jesus flew around for a bit, but then Ozzy bit his head off after mistaking him for a rubber savior. /s

Pope Francis did much better in his video with Jesus.
