For this post I chose one of the AI created videos, I have a very stubborn view on the topic as I despise all AI used in art. I think the root of my distaste for AI in artistic creations is how fraudulent it feels along with this undertone of disrespect for actual human artists who spend their entire lives curating their style and making art while a computer can make “art” in seconds. The whole concept of it just irks me.
Don’t get me wrong, AI is an amazing tool in so many aspects of life like technology, medical advancements, information systems etc. but it’s a tool I strongly believe should be removed from art.
As for the video I chose “POOF” an AI created short film about muppet looking entities working in an office and exploding from what I’m guessing is the stress of the environment.
This video creates a scene in a world where intelligent life like humans are replaced by puppet creatures and they are placed into a mundane and grey environment like an office. The contrast between the puppets and environment is an interesting piece of the video, I like the idea of putting very child-like puppets that are colorful and textured in a fun way in a drab and flat workplace, it works very well together.
As the video continues on we see a multitude of puppets doing regular office work and over time you can see the puppets starting to shake and get overwhelmed to the point of combusting leaving behind just the fur texture in a pile where they were placed. I think it’s fun to view this as how people, who as they grow with life continue to maintain that ‘child-at-heart’ attitude, and as these people enter the workforce the maturity and drabness of a workplace just overloads them to a point of misery.
