This feels like a new low, tbh

    This video seems very low effort. If your going to waste vaste amounts of vital resources, at least generate something unusual. And clearly tag it as Gen AI.

    “Video by Tom Furse” - Don’t know why this annoys me the most. At best he edited the output of a selection of prompts to fit the music.

    The only AI music video I’ve actually enjoyed watching is this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGIvO4eh190

    In the description they clearly state the reason for using AI (plus they also used some 3D tools.)

    Gen Ai is good for generating horrible nightmarish visuals.

    I think I hate Gen AI so much because by default it generates dream-like/nightmare imagery, hallucinations. We try and force it to produce real-life representations.

    It’s an uncanny valley generator, used incorrectly.

    It’s a lab-grown meat, that no matter how it’s manipulated, just doesn’t taste right. But companies try and pass it off as it’s from an animal.

    For Christ-sake, if people want to use this abomination of a tool, use it to generate abominations.

      Low effort video fitting such a low effort song. I could not listen to it past the middle, it’s so fucking repetitive.

      I’m not going to argue if either is good or bad but that seems like a really arbitrary line to draw in the sand. You could argue that AI was necessary in the OP video to make a young Mick Jagger. You could also argue that your linked video used AI in the worst way - that it wasn’t a tool to realize an artistic vision (clips they didn’t deliberately generate were funny so they used them)

      This video is a MUCH better example of genAI as a tool for art. I don’t have the link handy but the Making Of video is crazy. They utilized AI to create the exact look they had in mind
