"sabrina carpenter using AI to create bad stickers is embarassing. released a whole new album and making millions whilst on tour and can't even commission an artist to make these bad stickers. second time this has happened btw, she can't neglect it and say it was "an accident". pic.twitter.com/vECAe0VEow August 30, 2025"
""This made me sad," a fan on Reddit wrote. "She definitely can hire an artist. Her aesthetic is so fun too and these are just milquetoast drawings. No soul to them," they added. "Artists not supporting other artists is intrinsically so wrong," another fan wrote, while one commented, "God I hate hate HATE the faux-lineart style that AI uses for this 'art' - it's excruciatingly boring, indistinct, void of any interesting 'choices'.""
Sabrina Carpenter partnered with TikTok to release free in-app stickers promoting the album Man's Best Friend, using 50s-inspired cartoon designs featuring the singer and dogs. Fans quickly identified AI-generation flaws such as missing appendages, warped features, and blotchy text, and voiced disappointment that a high-profile release relied on low-quality AI art. Critics argued that commissioned human artists would better capture Carpenter's aesthetic and that using AI in this way undermines support for other artists. The controversy followed earlier criticism of the album artwork, amplifying fan frustration and public scrutiny of the marketing move.
