This is how you do AI music videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Njk2YAgNMnE

Lean into the not-quite-but-almost uncanny-valley-ness. Make it a feature, not a bug.

They also trained the AI for that video on the band members' own artwork, so the video is focused despite the trippy visuals and avoids copyright issues.

Released October 2022? That’s a very human piece of art even if the images may have been generated by an algorithm

I think that's also why it's good, and an example of the need for relatively heavy human fingerprints applied to AI to do 'art' (which feels like I'm just repeating what @anon7000 says in top comment).

Three and a half years at the rate of AI progress has gotten to the point of reality-level picture quality, but there's a lot AI gets wrong without nudges here and there. That may be slightly unfair, however, given that this film clip took a couple of months and the ones in TFA cost $100 max and took less than an hour.

Now it feels obvious that I'm comparing apples and oranges. I mean, nice to know that we all seem to like 'proper art' better than an hour worth of an AI generated version of 'one art please'.

That is how you do A video but if everyone does this it becomes like those blurred photos that make cities look like a small model and everyone is doing it. I guess this is the issue. Me buying a Toyota and pointing at it is not art, there are too many of them.

I'm possibly retro-fitting my answer here, but that film clip feels like the band, feels like it fits well with the music, I think that's why that clip came to my mind in relation to the produce-generica of the original article.

The clip incorporates images of the band and, as @DoktorDelta pointed out (which I didn't know before), it was trained on art created by some of the band members. It also totally fits the psychedelic rock vibe, not just for this song, but also into the canon of psychedelic rock film clips and general psychedelia media.

Yes absolutely. A good analogy would be Gibhli. If you saw a Gibhli styled ad for say your local restaurant would you consider it art.

Now rewind, uninvent AI and then would you consider that same ad art?

>it becomes like those blurred photos that make cities look like a small model

Tilt-shift photography for those wondering.

Along the same lines this one leans into it and makes something absolutely unique and wild: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dHAP3E5e2jc

I agree though, you can combine art with AI and make something really unique but the majority of art people are pushing with AI is in my opinion being rightfully branded as AI slop.

That is pretty amazing, with more intricacies and a coherence of shapes / objects through the whole thing.

AI as artists tool, not AI as artist.

I think this one is a decent example too -- it would probably fool a lot of people:

(the song is AI too)

Interesting example to choose considering King Gizzard and Lizard Wizard’s latest single is an anti-ai piece called Level 5, referring to level 5 self driving.

Reminds me of when autotune came out and everyone and their dog had autotune songs
