Autumn's Grey Solace AI usage for the "The Neverending" video clip
The ethereal wave band Autumn's Grey Solace released a music video for the song "The Neverending" from the 2026 album of the same name which features AI elements. They acknowledged this in the comments, but defended their choice as an "artistic way to enhance our videos to create imagery that conveys the message of our music", and emphasized that the music is human-made. This is quite similar to how Brendan Perry defended the AI cover art for Dead Can Dance's single "Our Day Will Come".
Regardless of the quality of the resulting product, do you think it's acceptable for bands to use this technology to better illustrate the deeper meaning of their music? If, in 5 or 10 years, the AI would be able to create high quality imagery that perfectly represents the artist's intentions, would you be fine with that, or the usage of AI is inherently contemptible to you?
Edit: the original user's comment which criticized them for AI usage got deleted. The first paragraph contains a direct quote from their response which is no longer accessible.
Edit 2: they privated the video. I guess this shows that they do listen to their fans, unlike some other bands featured on similar threads.
