Best guitar solos ever. Amazing song! Amazing lyrics! And Amazing artwork from you and the AI. It goes very nicely together with the song.

[@fredbloggs8072]

Gilmore is a genius. Probably one of the most expressive guitarists who ever lived. His solos convey so much emotion.

[@Tsochar]

It's interesting how the AI really REALLY likes to draw pictures of figures with their back turned to the viewer, watching a landscape that heavily features orange/blue contrasts. Like, they have different outfits, and it may be one or more people, and sometimes the landscape is buildings, sometimes it's clouds or trees or something else, but more often than not the main colors are orange/blue. Across all the videos it just seems to love drawing variations on that theme.

[@TheBackroomCollective]

I've thought the same thing.,,,makes me wonder what AI really thinks about humans.

[@Tsochar]

​@@TheBackroomCollective In all likelihood, it doesn't have anything we would recognize as "thoughts." The closest thing would probably be something like "I'm reasonably sure that this region of colors and lines looks like a 'human' so I will place it in that category"

I recently started playing with AI text to image.. and there are many prompts and styles that can be shown. How much of the stylized imagery and colors were from the AI and how much from the person who was choosing the prompts? Also there are multiple images shown for each result which can be chosen from. This is soley what the person who gave the text data and prompts chose from their results.

[@stantheman6431]

That last image looks amazing, it looks like something out of an actual Pink Floyd concert

@ApocalypseOfSpoons 1st time I've seen 1 of these AI generated vids where the guitar solo isn't being represented by the Grim Reaper. Rainbows are much preferred.

[@greenbird777]

@ApocalypseOfSpoons : So I woke up, went right to KZbin like I do every day while I let my brain wake up - I'm already feeling surreal, because that's how I feel every morning - I watch my first ever AI generated video for a song I listened to over & over as a teenager - mind COMPLETELY blown by those swirling, strangely, deeply symbolic images - then I start cruising the comments section & I find... "ApocalypseofSpoons"... I... I can't even find words. It's like someone patched together a scene from "The Wall", then a short Monte Python skit... Please, if you're willing, tell me the story of your screen name... (and yes, I thought the same thing when the final image showed up).

@@anchovybushwack472 I cannot provide proof, just like there is no proof that they are AI generated. All I can say, is that I construct AI algorithms for a living and AI is not the point were this small amount of data (worlds and music) can be used to generate the level of information contained in these images. This is fabricated or at best the YT poster chose the images and used the music to influence the color palate. It would also be possible for the poster to have used a catalog of images and created an algorithm for the words or words/music to choose from images in the catalog. It doesn’t really matter. I love PF and this video is excellent and thought provoking. Its just not AI generated

@@kenwittlief255 It can perfectly be A.I generated, simply put, that particular sample has a greater impact in the gradients of the network and was heavily related to a peculiar combination of words in the numerical context of the weights, so you input something like "Pink Floyd Live" and it goes to that picture due to it's significance on the weights.

[@kaptainskarlett9927]

I just found the AI/music channels. Amazing and terrifying at the same time. The color palette chosen by the AI looks very dark and gloomy. (Although most of the videos feature dark and gloomy songs). But it appears that the AI not only considers the lyrics, but the key, timbre, and tone of the music as well. Fascinating. It reminds me of the old line about looking into the abyss and the abyss looks back.

[@jdraven0890]

And the AI is watching us watching its images. To make better images...of course.

[@redpillnibbler4423]

AI anything is kind of disturbing to me. If you find an image beautiful then find out later it was AI created would it bother you?

[@tristan_todd]

Midjourney takes textual inputs only. It is possible that the OP is adding textual prompts that describe the music though.

[@asc_missions3080]

I never thought of Pink Floyd's music as looking into the abyss. Deep, yes, beyond the mere light of day, yes, but actually, more like Ingo Swann's mega-psychic Daniel Merryweather (Star Fire 1978) who, when he sang to a flower it sang back and self-realization descended upon him.

[@MrDeathpilot]

"it appears that the AI not only considers the lyrics, but the key, timbre, and tone of the music as well" No. The AI doesn't "listen" to the song. All that's inputted is the lyrics. 🙄

[@rionthemagnificent2971]

This song is a mixture of Roger's desire of alienation from his fans and Syd's growing disillusionment with the industry, and his heavy drug use. "Your lips move but i can't hear what your saying" - Syd singing in the video of "Jugband blues" As Syd was so out of it on psychedelics he'd start doing the motions but there'd be no audio. while when the band stopped playing, he started singing. Not to mention the adult pink sitting in a chair blankly staring into space is another reference to Syd.

My favourite Floyd song and a really nice video. My only criticism is for the line "you are only coming through in waves" when the image is actual waves in the sea when the song obviously means sound waves ( not that you can depict sound 😊)

Interesting and perhaps ironic that when AI was confronted with the line "I need some information first" it was unable to provide any visual representation of that line. Still THE classic song though.................just close your eyes and let the words paint the pictures.

Just yesterday I suggested you guys do this one, and it showed up in my feed today. Coincidence? One of the saddest songs ever about being a R&R star. Can you tell us any more about your process with the AI? Do you feed it a line at a time, or the whole song? Are the images used the ones it generates for that single line, or do you go back and rearrange some of them?

Custom promps describing the content, style, etc. Then a process of iterating on the variations produced usually. Look up Midjourney, you can play with it online

[@flamerollerx01]

The art the AI comes up with reminds me of these scary story books I used to read when I was a kid. I believe it was all art by H. R. Giger, but it may have just been someone copying his style. It was all water color and all back and white with lots of drip patterns and lines of fungal spore shapes and stuff. Very creepy and I wish I could remember the name of the series. I remember that it was very popular though.
