Unsure if it's just the way they prompted it / coded it, but the output is far too much a literal direct copy of the lyrics. The best music videos have a story arc on the theme of but often not litearlly the lyrics, and start with obscurity and reveal something (following all the literary/story mechanisms) Consider Amber Run - Found lyrics versus the video, and the story arc of the video https://www.youtube.com/watch…

Literal music videos are still fun and a valid creative direction, e.g., Vance Joy's "Riptide": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJ_1HMAGb4k

Or, in the opposite direction, with literal lyrics to match the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMmXCyrV_WQ&list=RDXMmXCyrV_...

It's an interesting experiment and the results are surprising. I will say that if you're a musician I'd bet anything you can make a way cooler and better music video for $25 and 45 minutes with your friends.

$25 is an exaggeration, because that wouldn't even cover lunch for your friends to say thanks for the favour.

OK Go blew up early youtube with Here It Goes again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTAAsCNK7RA .

But these are exceptions to the rule, most people don't have the ability to do much creatively with a shoestring budget.

( Which isn't to say this slop is better. This slop is far worse, it's utterly dreadful. )

Like most of this stuff, it's obviously impressive technology compared to what existed a few years ago. But the end product has zero artistic value. It's a grey goo of the average of every concept picked up from the concept of the song. A talented creative with a vision could make something more interesting and enjoyable in an afternoon with a $0 budget.

We dont need music videos though. Music videos are absurd and meaningless.

The thing about art is that literally everything is a "valid creative direction." But that doesnt make everything immune from derision.

Weird Al videos are often totally literal and extremely fun as a result. https://youtu.be/N9qYF9DZPdw?is=tU_8p-hDZv9gjAJ6

I wonder what would happen if you gave the AI video generation tools a widely ranging prompt to generate a video from Weird Al's "Amish Paradise", and then compared it to the actual video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOfZLb33uCg

It seems no one has called themselves "Weird AI" and started making AI parodies of Weird Al's videos yet...

The interesting irony of using Bruno Mars, who, for my taste, really is something like Human AI.

Uptown Funk is a very enjoyable track -- but if you're familiar with his influences, it can make his music generally stale and unenjoyable. Like Silk Sonic has the technical sound of that era, but it feels like they're treating it like a joke.

Well I would expect them to have been around for longer if they were to be ancestors of mammals.

Taking your logic to its conclusion fishes (or descendants of fish) regularly recite Shakespeare. However there is a major flaw in your logic. Fishes (or their descendants) reciting Shakespeare is part of natural history. AI making quality music videos is just a prediction (or maybe even just wishful thinking). The former has occurred and has been observed, the later has not. So you are comparing nature with science…

I believe that was the point.

Ah man I love the music videos of the 90s

Spike Jonze had so many creative ones

Why are they absurd and meaningless?

Can be art and creative, just like the music.
