A lot of folks have a knee-jerk reaction against AI-generated or enhanced video. And yeah, a lot of it is really bad slop. But what happens when the Rolling Stones use it, and it's ... kind of great? I mean, there's no Uncanny Valley effect here at all.
To paraphrase one of the band's song, I have mixed emotions.

Read this @hollywoodreporter story on how the creators of "South Park" helped pull this off.
@dsilverman @hollywoodreporter Any use of AI is bad and unethical
@dsilverman @hollywoodreporter boiling the oceans for shit
@hollywoodreporter OK, this is the best of the comments under the video on YouTube:
@dsilverman @hollywoodreporter
Not great at all. Wrecks a good song.
@mastodonmigration @hollywoodreporter Interesting. Tell me in detail why it's “not great.”
@dsilverman @hollywoodreporter
Because it sucks.
Also, familiarize yourself with the concept of sealioning.
@mastodonmigration @hollywoodreporter “Sucks" is not detail.
I am really curious about your objections, because I MAY end up writing about this video in my column. Not sealioning, actual research! (I also respect the work you do here, which is why I followed up.)
If your reaction is purely visceral, which I'd say falls into the “knee-jerk" category, that's fine. Say that.
@hollywoodreporter It helps that the song is a banger.
