I don't have a problem with AI and can't stand the anti-AI brigade, but... this is the worst thing I have ever seen in my life.
This specific type of garbage is exactly what arms the anti-AI critics with valid arguments. We should really wait a few years for the technology to mature before releasing these kinds of projects into the cultural sphere.
- bjourne 3mo agoEh, I'd like to see YOU make a better music video for $100 or less!
- byzantinegene 3mo agoor i can just not do it? this absolute garbage of a music video is not worth a single cent, let alone a $100.
- stale2002 3mo agoWhat do you mean, I thought it was fun. Feel free to not make your own music videos, but I am not sure why you would be so upset about other people having fun.
- scarecrowbob 3mo agoPeople say this a lot, and I usually think it's said by folks who haven't thought about it much. As a person who makes a lot of music, I don't care if folks have fun. In fact I am having such a hard time caring hat folks do or how they do it I can't get motivated to book any shows this season. But the part you're missing is when folks make these things and then say "yeah, you see this thing we're doing? That's what we think -you- are doing." LIke when someone sets up an LLM to shit out some song lyrics, I don't care if they are having fun doing it, but I think it displays a lot of contempt for [insert an songwriting artist youlike here] to claim that the LLM is doing the same thing. Which is fine and all- I've got plenty of unmitigated contempt for my fellow humans. And you don't even need a computer to do that- I've released a certain amount of music that is facile and boring and in retrospect understand why folks were dismissive. But if you want to understand why folks who consider themselves invested in their craft (or even invested in other artists' craft) are dismissive of these things, then you might consider how radically dismissive of craft these kinds of cultural products might seem to artists.
- bjourne 3mo ago"or i can just not do it", because you can't! To much pride to admit that the bot beats your ass every day of the week ten times over when it comes to making music videos so the cop out is "nah, man, I just don't wanna."
- runarberg 3mo agoThis is such a bad argument: a) You are allowed to dislike cheap stuff, in fact it is common in western culture to dislike art where it is obvious that the artist cheaped out. b) Never in the history of western art critique has there been a requirement that the critic is able to do better then the artist (let alone for cheaper). As the saying goes, “I may not be able to pilot a 100000 ton cargo ship, but I can tell when one is stuck in a canal.”
- slopinthebag 3mo agoIf you don’t count the cost of the phone I think many people could. See, it would look like it cost $100, but that’s still better than using AI to generate something that looks like the temu version of a $500,000 video.
- ArlenBales 3mo agoBeen done many times before. E.g. https://youtu.be/lLYD_-A_X5E?is=DqNgAGlosIXO9z3V https://youtu.be/lLYD_-A_X5E?is=DqNgAGlosIXO9z3V
- jayd16 3mo agoI remember when my friends in middle school were making DBZ fight scene music videos with iMovie and Movie Maker. They were way better than this and did not cost $100.
- bjourne 3mo agoI'm not claiming that no one can make a better music video for $100. I'm claiming that a random member of the HN peanut gallery can't make a better music video for $100. :)

- spaqin 3mo agoI have done a few - even if very amateurish, still learning, on the side, for saxophone covers. Budget was basically just transportation to the location. I don't count the price of my equipment in the budget because I'm also not counting the price of a datacenter here.
- Turneyboy 3mo agoYou are also discounting your time which is not fair
- sneak 3mo agoThe article is not about video quality.
- Lerc 3mo agoIf you benchmark is to be better than a human familiar with the task at hand, then you will be disappointed. If you are not expecting them to be as good as people then their failures seem wholly unremarkable. The specific nature of tbe failures can be quite interesting in fact. They can expose deficiencies in the architecrure, training data, or presumptiona of those controlling the models. In my experience very few people are claiming the capabulities that would be required for me to expect them to produce better than they currenrly are. I'm not bothered by a fish's inability to quote Shakespeare.
- runarberg 3mo ago> I'm not bothered by a fish's inability to quote Shakespeare. But I am bothered when they put a pencil in the mouth of a fish and tell us that this is the future of literature, that this qualifies as playwright, and that theaters will soon begin putting on plays written by a fish with a pencil in its mouth.
- Lerc 3mo agoBut they are not claiming that current models are better than humans but later developments might. Do you think that a descendant of a fish could be a playwright or put on a play?

- fallinditch 3mo agoMy first thought was "we'll be seeing a lot more of this sort of thing, we're so fucked" but then found myself being quite amused by the AI-glitching mistakes in the GPT 5.6 $25 effort: lean into the strange glitching and I won't be too upset.
