First trickle of generative AI music videos

[astfgyl]

It would be funny if an ultra underground elitist AI black metal scene emerged that was closed off to humans.

Like the "Dead Internet" thing that a lad was telling me about lately. It's not as wild as it sounds

Another Beato rant on it. The quality of music he plays is indistinguishable from contemporary pop/country stuff to my ear. That was quick

Social media is littered with BS AI articles .

Alex Webster (from interview, November 1994) –
"It's interesting to perform in America, and to relieve boredom, we invite girls on the tour bus to dance naked. A lot of strippers come to our concerts, and we entrust our sound technician to organize a meeting with them. He is a real master at such things. Gentle in character, he approaches beautiful dancers and begins to openly flatter them. In America, we have half the audience at metal concerts, no, I said that too, not half. But many of the girls who come to our concerts work as strippers. And they can entertain us as we go on tour. I remember the first time this happened in St. Louis, the girls had a dance. At that moment, I turned to our sound technician and said: "Old man, we need to raise your salary." It's amazing that this happens to us, we play death metal. Especially when, during the concert, we are on stage, and the girls in the hall are sparkling with their tits. This shouldn't happen in principle!"

Sounds like something Webster would say

It doesn't exactly fit the thread, but I can't think of anywhere better to put this face off of cosmic self-importance between Rick Beato and Antony Fantano. The latter has always annoyed me, the former I liked at first but have progressively gone off his endless utterly pointless critique of the Spotify top 20, etc. Overall, I end up agreeing with almost everything Fantano argues though, and his crescendo of enraged frustration is entertaining as hell    The two Beato videos are 19 minutes in total, Fantano's about 25, but I think it's interesting enough to be worth a look:

Janey, that makes Alex sound like Trump 

Although we all know that CC don't just grab the ladies by their pussies - they do far worse things

Just watched this... Never heard of the band before, song is ok, but fuck me this video is terrible.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Bizarrely PG13 if ya ask me. Maybe you've to pay for a premium account to unlock 15s content. Platinum customers get 18s. Tor for more.

Turned it off after 5 seconds.

Was watching some AI generated Michael Jackson song last night with the kids. Voice was a dead ringer, but the phrasing and tone of the song was totally from 2025, so at least there are still some subtleties that is not able to ape. Although maybe that was the request, who knows. It was all wrong anyway.

Looking forward to the AI generated Rick Beato videos where he contradicts everything.
Or will I even bother watching one, probably not.

Was wondering also, do ye think this will all reach an inevitable cliff edge, where we all have enough of the screens and constant rubbish content, and go back to feverishly reading books & meditating....or will content and consumption of it just keep increasing forever, inexorably? Like how will the classic "iPad Kid" live in 15 years? Just turning the bollocks pipe on all the way

Surely data centres for the likes of Youtube etc wouldn't be keen on an never-ending pile of AI generated content that no one is watching? I'm sure thresholds will be implemented at some stage that allow you to upload or not. I'm thinking of Spotify recently with their 1000 listens/streams within a year. Can only relate back to computer beating any human at chess but no one watches computers play chess against each other. Would we watch AI play any E-sports? Maybe as a novelty at first but would wear pretty thin pretty fast. Or maybe content just becomes personalised which doesn't seem fun at all.

I'm thinking of the virtual racing in the bookies here and I reckon there will be enough cunts will actually go for it

I love the idea of people just having had enough of the endless content (especially if everywhere online becomes overwhelmed with fake AI stuff), and just starting to switch off. I can def see older (like 30 and up) people starting to do that, but the kids never will. Social media is the ultimate attention seeking and get rich quick scheme all rolled into one, and they are ravenous for it. It'll be interesting to see what turns it takes in the future though. Will we all live in augmented reality down the line?

I don't know much about digital art or how quickly it can be produced but I'm a bit skeptical how it's possible to pump out hundreds of unique and highly detailed artworks one after the other at such a high rate. Surely there has to be an element of ai used or do I need to take of my ai generated tinfoil hat?
