want to give my two cents on the AI usage in the maestro trailer--

i think seventeen doing a whole concept that is anti-AI is very cool, especially as creatives themselves i think it's good that they're speaking up against it and i hope it gets more ppl talking about the issue. i also understand on a surface level the artistic choice (whether it was made by the members, the mv director, or whoever else), to directly use AI in contrast to real, human-made visuals and music in order to criticize it. i also appreciate that they clearly stated the intention of the use of AI at the beginning of the video

however, although i understand it to an extent, i do not agree with the choice to use AI to critique AI. one of the main ethical concerns with generative AI is that it is trained on other artists' work without their knowledge, consent, or compensation. and even when AI generated images are being used to critique AI, it still does not negate this particular ethical concern

the use of AI to critique also does not negate the fact that this is work that could have been done by an actual artist. i have seen some people argue that it's okay in this context because it's a critique specifically about AI, and it is content that never would have been done by a real artist anyway because it doesn't make sense for the story they're trying to tell. but i disagree. i think you can still tell the exact same story without using AI

and in fact, i would argue that it would make the anti-AI message stronger if they HAD paid an artist to draw/animate the scenes that are supposed to represent AI generated images. wouldn't it just be proof that humans can create images that are just as bad and nonsensical and soulless as AI, but that AI can't replicate the creativity and beauty and basic fucking anatomy that's in human-made art?

it feels very obvious this was not just a way to cut corners and costs like a lot of scummy people are using AI for. ultimately it was a very intentional creative decision, i just personally think it was a very poor one. and even if some ethical considerations were taken into account before this decision, i certainly don't think all of them were. at the very least i feel like the decision undermines the message they want to convey

i would also like to recognize that i myself am not an artist, and i have seen some artists that are totally on board with the use of AI in this specific context, so clearly this is not a topic that is cut and dry. but generative AI is still new, and i think it's important to keep having these conversations

#melia.txt #also want to add that as musicians svt are more directly threatened by AI generated audio than they are by AI generated images #and yet AI generated images is what was used in the video #and i guess the MV director/production company are the ones directly responsible for putting that in there #whether it was their initial idea or not #and they work in a visual medium so perhaps that makes it more 'fair' but idk it just feels like #the commentary is around music. which makes sense. and using human produced music/sound #but then taking advantage of AI images #idk just feels weird #i mean i don't like it either way #like i said in the main post i understand the intention behind the creative decision #and i'm still happy svt are speaking against ai at all i do think overall they're doing a good thing here #i just don't agree with the creative decision they/the production company/whoever made #edit: deleted the part about not boycotting svt over this bc ppl were commenting about boycotting bc of the 🛴 stuff #i meant specifically /I/ am not calling for a boycott because of specifically the ai stuff #was just trying to make a general point that im not making this post bc i want to sabatoge svt or whatever #bc kpop fans love to pull that catd whenever u criticize anything #so yeah just removed that bit bc i dont want ppl getting confused what im talking about #respect ppl boycotting because of scooter/israel stuff but thats not what this post was intended to be about #edit 2: turning off reblogs bc im going to bed and having asomewhat controversial post up is not gonna help me sleep well lol #may or my not turn rb's back on in the morning

This is going to be such a weird and long ask, but what do you think of Michael Jackson as a dancer? I knew he was a great performer, but I was really surprised that he was crowned as one of the best dancers by Fred Astaire, despite the fact that Jackson was not a professionally trained dancer. For context, before stumbling on your blog (which I'm very grateful for between) I always thought that, usually, main dancers in a kpop group were on the same level as professional dancers, so when you explained the real gap, it made me think of how we view performers like Beyonce and Michael Jackson as some of the best dancers, but I don't know whether these comparisons are made with only other singers in mind, or if they really are considered among the best dancer, including professional dancers. Your thoughts?

oh no michael jackson was the real fucking deal. his body control was insane he is legit one of the greatest dancers of all time. it's also important to remember that michael jackson was a street dancer, which was a form that was quite literally growing with him. of course he wasn't professionally trained as a dancer; at what school?? nowadays we have dancers who are professionally trained in hiphop, popping, locking, and other types of street dance, but as a form, these genres are probably only about 50-60ish years old; tony gogo (who worked WITH mj) is still alive and occasionally working. michael jackson was a HUGE part of the reason why schools for street dance even exist at all, bc he was the one who made the form popular. he's the blueprint for the pop star, the reason why we even HAVE kpop in the first place. the thing about the performing arts is that because there are so many aspects of it, you're almost always going to find someone who has better technique in some way; yes there are better dancers than michael jackson now, just as there are better singers, better musicians, etc etc etc. but art isn't about technique, it's about what you DO with that technique, what you make with it, and how influential you become. when someone is recognized as being the 'best', it's always a combination of skill, artistic ability, and influence, and that's something that other artists will always acknowledge.

#especially when you get into the field of pop performance influence is a HUGE part of legacy #i feel like ppl are only familiar with mj's music videos and like.....his dance breaks during live performances are soooo #like go watch the dangerous live at wetten dass 1995 perf that shit is wild (and i think you will find looks very familiar *cough taemin*) #non kpop questions #like mj was for sure an actually talented dancer but there's always going to be a difference between him and like. idk. #someone who only dances a specific genre and does nothing else. #like probably most popping dancers that compete/battle are ''better'' than mj. but that's a flawed metric to judge on #bc theyre not doing the same thing #its like boa. is she a very talented dancer? absolutely. is she the best? no of course not. but professionals will still cite her influence #text #answers #and rain. and taemin. all talented all considered the best in their fields all cited influences #but you will ALWAYS find someone who is better #there's def like a preoccupation with technique that happens in arts fields bc ppl try to make the comparison with other non arts fields #like in a science-based field having perfect technique IS how you are the best #like the best surgeon is the one who does things textbook perfect right? you wouldnt want a surgeon who plays fast and loose with rules #but you can't carry that same logic into art. it doesnt work like that #and its not really something that i blame people for assuming bc not everyone is an artist #but it is an important thing that more ppl should be aware of

wow thank you so much

#this is aoa's official youtube. it has 20 million views. :') #also this is the performance version of 'ai wo choudai' and like. God the choreo is . ooughw :( #it is So bland. this is one of The Songs Ever to me. and the choreo is giving Nothing. #it's not even... a decent sexy choreo. bcus this is so rooted in the era of kpop girlies either give cute - sexy or badass #yeah i Know it released in 2016 but aoa stayed true to their roots to the end lol. and 2016 was the tide changing anywya. #honestly the trichotemy was pretty bad but i tended to enjoy anything that fell under the 'sexy' label. the BEst bangers came outta that #(exid i lvoe you. sistar i love you. stellar i love you. fiestar i lvoe you. hellovenus i lo) #and. oh i feel terrible saying this. i would rather have the miserable trichotomy than most groups giving #~feminism~ through the lens of misogyny. it's like. Feminism but make it marketable and tell young women this is Fine #also softcore queerbaiting. #like every Knew the trichotemy was misogynist af. i didn't have to read posts saying that blackpink gave women rights #okay actually. wait. people were genuinely saying things like hyuna's red were feminsit anthems weren't they. okay nvm #i think the bar for 'progressive' is so low in kpop that it is in hell. to be honest. #like we have and have had more progressive thigns in music videos and lyrics in mainstream kpop #mostly from soloists or solo work from band members #moonbyul's shutdown is. clearly about having sex with a woman. #brown eyed girls' abracadabra is okay.... YES the angling is steeped in male gaze #but having a clearly wlw relationship in the mv Was iconic for the era. still is mroe brazen than most mvs dare to be. #also that sistar one where they kill a man together and run off being fruity. #one mroe day! that one! #so yknow. shoutout to the actual icons. #loftwinglullaby rambles #kpop

kpop fandom is incredibly strange bc it views "stanning" a group as being more about the people in the group and not the music. which leads to an environment where it's totally normal to see people proclaiming themselves to be fans of a group that hasn't actually released music yet, and on the flip side of things, people in youtube comments of more established groups will regularly say that they aren't a fan of this group but they have listened to and loved literally every song by that group so they're thinking about "getting into them"

#sorry i know it's bad for me but i've been watching videos about kpop #kpop fandom is way separated from just like. any other fandom. bc it views being a fan as an active identity #you can't just listen to this groups music nono you have to stream it and vote for them and buy their albums! think of the idols!!! #which definitely ties into the way kpop fandoms are the only fandoms nowadays with actual names. remember whovians and shit? they're still #doing this in kpop. moreover. the companies themselves are releasing the fandom names. bc this unhealthy fan behavior is how they get money #they need people to treat stanning a group like a job bc that's how their groups win awards and get recognition and fame #add to that the fact that the market is incredibly oversaturated right now and. well. it's bad #stayc was the next big thing then aespa then billie then ive then le sserafim now newjeans. litrally insane how short the shelf life is

I'm aware this has been talked about before but I sometimes feel like international fans(especially native English speakers) don't understand that not being able to fluently speak a language but understanding most (or everything) of what's been said/written is very common for bilingual people.

Also, your native tongue influences how you speak a new language a lot. All languages have their differences in terms of sounds, tones, grammar and that reflects in whatever your accent is like. Of course people can work on their accents if they want but I believe it should always be a personal choice. Like you literally cannot correctly pronounce my name in English without having to borrow a sound from another language. And that's on languages and being bilingual. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

And, if you're someone who judges/comments on someone's secondary language skills while yourself only knowing a single language, there's the door 🚪. Bye!

#as a bilingual myself I'd rather people like this don't make my acquaintance unless you're open to be educated #i saw a video of what I would call a perfect American accent and some people were commenting how she was faking it? #and? #she's doing a great job at it? #and then some people were like she spoke great English for a Korean #bro? #she went to harvard?! #even if she didn't #it would still be your problem for not understanding a less common accent #and how can you expect people to have the same pronounciation as you when their native tongue has such different sounds #and you literally need to have regular conversations with people to catch on the little tidbits which obv isn't possible for most people #ignorant people are very irritating #i would like you to try to learn a language with grammar and sounds that are completely different and then we'll talk #auroras thoughts #music #kpop #korean #english #language #learning languages #speaking english
