The band Rush just put out a handful of gross and lazy AI-gen music videos. So sick of this trend/degradation
(media.piefed.world)
This careless interpretation (if you can even call it that) completely misrepresents the meaning of the original work. It represents the idea of using a delicate touch to handle something with the idea of punching it like a child would instead. As another song by them put it:
“Don't feed the people
But we feed the machines”
I don’t understand when someone who is creative in one field uses AI to generate something in another field. Like, how would Rush feel if some visual artist used AI to make crummy knock-off Rush songs with their own art?
In most cases, I expect that moves like this are by the record company/rightsholders/whoever as a cheap cash-grab rather than the artist themselves. Peter Gabriel is a vocal exception to that.
That may be true in this case, I'm thinking more of small content creators on YouTube or elsewhere. No class solidarity.
