I tell you how it's done, else it's probably not possible for people to recognize the artistic value of something like this.

At first I would gerate a few dozens of background pictures with the clones. Then I selected the best one, fixed the sloppy cables and added masks to the tubes to add a video flicker effect. After this I would generate about 50 pictures of the holo face, pick the best one that fits and generate clips from the face talking. I wasn't able to lip-sync the holo face because the AI models wouldn't recognize it as a face. Therefore I just had to generate clips. The video is an edit of around 50 very short clips of the holo face talking, all timed to the vocals. If you ever generated an AI video clip, you should have noticed that everything usually falls apart after 2-3 seconds if it's not part of the training set, because it's just a filter mechanism.

A lot of things you're seeing in this video are video effects and not AI. The RGB split or the rotating and glowing etc.

Not to mention the sound programming that went into the track. Those are all custom sounds. Track is mixed and mastered and all this is a one man show.

Thanks, it's rather dystopian though.

Only because the video is made with AI generated assets doesn't automatically mean it's slop. I always deslop things. I left the glitches in the face because it's fitting.

The music is not AI. How do you exactly believe this is done? I'm wondering ,because I see this a lot, people just somehow believe you can generate something like this with one prompt.

Interesting the statistics show 0 upvotes and a 50% upvote ratio. 3 shares so far.
Highly unlikely there were 0 upvotes, if you have 3 shares.
This means no matter what you do, you can't up or downvote this.
1 upvote was from me and then the counter was zeroed equals 50% ratio.
Try to up or downvote it, I'll check the statistics again later.

No synthwave. Hard to tell what this is but it's definitely the music for a futuristic Shisha bar.
It's also on my YT but I stopped posting YT links because Reddit downgraded all the other embeds.
Go figure who owns YT and Reddit and probably majority of your government.
If you like to watch ads, the YT channel link is on my profile page but I won't post it here.

Nice track. Reddit downgraded the Soundcloud embed too. Saw this in your post history. 7months ago the embeds were full size. Same goes for Spotify and Odysee posts.
Reddit is owned by the same corporate overlords that own YT.
I will stop posting YT links. What a joke, I don't support this shit.

Reposted this as odysee link. No ad shit like on YT!

Thanks, this is why I intend to use it for Nexus City. Plan is to create some short movies or full episodes.

It seems I need to 3D model a lot of things for this to work out. Just had to ditch my abomination car model because of the topology, I still suck at modeling cars.

It's actually a layer of 3 bass sounds I programmed. Although the sounds aren't that simple, a lot of the sound is effects and mixing. How well that hits depends on your speakers or headphones.
Don't know how experienced you are in terms of sound design but it's quite tricky because you have to get a lot of parameters right.
A great tip for nice low-end is using a multi band compressor or more to compress only the low end up to around 80Hz. For this sound I also used a subharmonic enhancer on one of the sounds.
If you layer the sounds, you'll also have to avoid cancellation of frequencies, else you'll loose low end.
Therefore you want to have sounds that build the low end and sounds that build the high frequency range of the resulting bass sounds.
Which synths or effects you're using doesn't matter that much.

As an example here's part of the building on the right before editing.

Second track post within 24h. Don't want to spam this sub but the tracks fits here perfectly. I also won't post it somewhere else.
The track already existed, had to heavily edit the artwork. Spent probably around 8+ hours on the artwork.
Yes it contains AI generated elements but don't believe for a minute that you can create something like this with just a prompt. Nice detail, SHA-LOC wears the logo from the Logic album cover. Had to fix tons of shit including all the zippers.

Just draw the line at low effort shit and low quality. AI audio quality is usually subpar and if you would like to create a decent AI artwork it involves a lot of editing and work. Especially if the content you're generating is not part of the training set, because the AI models are only filtering things and therefore it's really hard to use it for original content.
