bruh
These videos are always unbearable to watch and I can kind of understand less well off bands using it as a way to get more attention, but Pink Floyd?
This is "Pink Floyd" without Roger Waters, who wrote all of their good albums. This is David Gilmour's "Pink Floyd" who made a song in support of Ukraine called Hey Hey, Rise Up (lol) and tried to remove all their music from streaming services in Russia and Belarus, but Waters blocked the removal of the albums he was involved in. The "Pink Floyd" who called Waters an antisemite for criticizing Israel and a Putin apologist for being anti-war.
So yeah, this doesn't surprise me at all.
Yeah I just mean they easily have the capitol to fund a music video and especially for a contest where they have a variety of submissions this is the one that got picked? It's just fucking bizarre.
I have a feeling they were too dumb to realize it was even AI and were just like "woah look at this cool trippy animation"
Because video generation is in its infancy and lacks object permanence. Especially pre-Sora models, but the Sora videos also struggle a lot with it. Unlike the current video generation models, human artists know how to turn individual frames into a coherent sequence. Actually, human animation also can't reproduce the previous frame perfectly either, but except for oil painting animation, these inconsistencies are very hard to see. Anyway, the result is that all the "AI" videos are psychedelic.

It looks like throwup.
No offense or anything.
I agree that human artists intentionally making something that looks psychedelic almost always looks better.
Yeah
I'm just not sure how I feel about AI in general.
It looks useful for work, but that's about it, and people keep telling me that it's "plagiarism" or that it's bad and nobody should, I guess, use it all?
Idk.
I see it as a means of the mass proletarianization and unemployment of artists which in its current state will also lead to a decline in the quality of art. I'm a communist - my solution is guaranteed public funding to art collectives.
