Washed Out frontman Ernest Greene recently collaborated with filmmaker Paul Trillo to create a groundbreaking music video using OpenAI’s video-generation tool Sora. The video, titled ‘The Hardest Part,’ takes viewers on a surreal journey through the life of a couple, pushing the boundaries of modern technology. However, the response to the AI-generated video has been overwhelmingly negative. Critics have called it ‘blatantly artless’ and ‘digital diarrhea,’ sparking a larger conversation about the role of artificial intelligence in the art world. Despite the controversy, Greene stands by his decision to explore new artistic tools, while Trillo acknowledges the need for more transparency in AI-generated art. As the debate rages on, the future of AI in music videos remains uncertain.
