The music itself is Uptown Funk... which was a very successful song in 2014 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPf0YbXqDm0)
The videos are indeed awful though.
The intent and care is the whole point. It is the difference between slop and art whether generative or not.
This is the current era's version of these hit classics:
- "If you use autotune,you aren't a real singer!"
- "Programming a drum machine isn't really writing percussion!"
- "If you use Photoshop, you can't be a real artist."
- "No real artist would use duct tape as a medium."
- "Video games can't be art."
- "Sampling is just ripping off other people's music."
Art is simply a conversation between the artist and the audience.
The medium, tools, subject, content, or even size of the audience are all just metadata which accompany the art. It will happen with these tools also.
Using AI as part of your workflow? Possibly art. Using it as your entire workflow? Slop, not art.
It really all comes down to the effort and intent of the artist. I use AI tools in the creation of my art, but it would never occur to me to pass off something entirely generated as "my art". The AI tool is just another brush, instrument, or typeface in an assortment of tools I reach for when creating. The AI by itself has no intent. You need a human for that (at least currently). without the human? Yeah, slop like the videos in the OP.
