so weird and so funny how carats are suddenly defending ai lmaooo "theyre speaking up" "theyre against it" "the whole message is ai is bad" and yet they still used ai. sooooooooo

[theday]

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?

(also because of how kpop fans tend to react to things, i would like to explicitly say, i don't think svt need to be cancelled or boycotted or whatever other crazy thing because of this. personally i will probably still watch the MV when it comes out, etc. etc.)

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

#CARATWT GO TO HELL🔥🔥🔥 #it’s actually so mind blowing to me a creative team A CREATIVE TEAM? A TEAM OF CREATIVES?? approved of this concept and it’s slso setting a #precedent of ai usage in music videos from here on i don’t CARE if this is meant to be a critique it’s still spreading and promoting ai in #works and other companies are already using it for still teasers #concept photos etc etc #it’s so awful because how can u critic it without showing how companies are better off STILL commissioning actual artists #this genai hype that kpop companies are latching onto rn esp with ai covers floating around (fuck those) is so sickening because u know #these companies with so much revenue just want to cut costs and not have to pay extra money ‘they don’t have to spend’ #AFRAGGGGGG #yeah think abt the complications carats on twitter dot com lol. #adding that i personally will b boycotting tho bc of other reasons like SCOOTER. idk how else hybe is supposed to fuck off from him but it’s #actually telling hybe doesn’t give a fuck LMAO. still worth the boycott given it’s something other groups r doing as well even if fans like #to make it sound like the boycott olympics just bc u didn’t see a. notice abt how other fan bases are boycotting doesn’t mean it’s only ur #group that’s being boycotted this isn’t purposely harming them plz get a grip ur idols r millionaires

”Hey, wait. Yes? The young man in room 303 seems to meet that police officer often. It seemed like he gave her something this morning. Did you see what it was? I saw them from afar, so I didn't get a good look. What should we do? We can probably deal with the young man in room 303, but that female officer. Should we get rid of her?"
