> though it makes me anxious if I look at it longer than 3 seconds I've read that people with Trypophobia can often have similar reactions to these GAN type generated images. You may want to look into seeing if you have a mild case of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trypophobia

I have tyro-phobia and yeah those Gan images freak me out, any solution for tyro-phobia?

Dunno much about it. Just read about it once and found it interesting.

This is scary and what I feared would eventually happen. How long before AI is better than every music producer, trained on all of music how likeable something is? How long before fake influencers on IG and TikTok completely dominate by having more addictive personalities and videos to follow than real people?

William Gibson's Neuromancer (1984) features a Jamaican space tug where the "righteous dub" played within is automatically generated by remixing a vast library of existing music. I was fascinated by the concept when I first read about it as a budding DJ, and it's kind of exciting to see it come to fruition, even if the single tune this particular AI seems to play is pretty insipid.

Just started reading Neuromancer. Glad to know this.

There is more to experience than "likability".

If I go to a techno club, I would soooo love to see what an AI can do to make me move my feet more.

But if I listen to some mellow song with lyrics maybe I want to feel the touch of a human artist and his emotions.

I would also love to listen to AI generated music with lyrics, but it would generate different emotions (not worse, just different).

AI generated art will just open another type of experiences, but it will never replace human art.

Don't forget that playing a musical instrument or watching crowds move to your beat is an incredible experience that is not going to be enjoyed by artificial systems, at least anytime soon.

The syncing of the visuals to the music brings to mind the video for The Chemical Brothers’ Star Guitar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S43IwBF0uM

A really impressive achievement, I wonder how they achieved it when the song was released.

If you like that, you can look up other music video shot by Michel Gondry. He has an incredible creativity and DIY ethos that really sets him appart.

The film "Be Kind, Rewind" is kind of a "mise en abîme" in that regards, shot by Gondry and featuring characters that show the same kind of cinematic craftiness.
