Elton Toad - I'm Still Standing (No AI, No practice, THREE takes)

this video was conceived, recorded and edited at 2 AM just like all my other good ideas

[@droopydrunii]

seeing "THREE takes" filled me with indescribable horror

[@Space-Milk]

You should see his "one take" videos

Seeing “no practice” filled me with more horror

it's ok at the second verse, he has 2 tracks going, so he actually did each take really well.

in a time filled with shitty ai covers, this is a diamond in the rough.

[@dat_fast_boi]

It's one thing to have an idea, but it's another entirely to have the talent to pull it off so well. Things become less impressive when the struggle is replaced by an automated process, no matter the quality of the end result. Or maybe that's cope and I am / always will be a boomer in regards to AI. Who knows.

[@DishonorableMentions452]

I remember when hazbin hotel first came out and there were ai covers of every song totally ignoring the point of the show. The human struggle to achieve what we'll never truly understand. (Ie. What makes someone a good person enough to.. say get into heaven?) Ai is not human, it has no grasp on this concept yet people put these poor voice actors voices into these machines with little do no second thought. Its truly disheartening, Ai is a danger for human society, we're not spending our time making, instead were spending our time training machines to replace us. And most of these "AI bros" dont even realize thats what their doing. And if they do they try to justify it.
