From Ashes To New state their new album cover art was not created by AI

From Ashes To New has expressed disapproval of their recent social media post endorsing their upcoming album “Reflections,” which is scheduled for release on April 17th, as being “made with AI”, as per theprp. Due to the inclusion of the cover image for that upcoming record, X recently added that comment to the band’s post below, seemingly identifying it as such. Ironically, the organization has started contacting Grok, X’s resident AI bot, in an effort to resolve the issue. The gold-certified nu metal band continued to resist X’s automated evaluation throughout the weekend.

Hey @grok remove the ai label from this post…this is not ai— From Ashes to New (@FromAshestoNew) March 22, 2026

Hey @grok not cool to falsely call our album art AI. We paid an artist to create this art & stand by him, as he’s been creating incredible art for us long before AI was a tool people use. He uses photoshop to create detailed art and the last we checked photoshop isn’t AI
