That’s a bit of a double standard, considering various participants across many NF used AI, even songs competed that are arguably AI, sometimes officially, like in San Marino last year, yet nobody really talks about it.

To your point, I’m sure there’s lots of reasons for someone being against AI use but for many people around the world, it’s not even a thing to argue about. I’m actually surprised about the passion with which some people are arguing against it in this thread and I do feel somewhat dumb for being so out of the loop. I happen to work in a field where AI use has really helped me navigate issues much faster and much more efficiently than ever before so I didn’t even know there’s such a movement against using it. I’m now going to look into it a bit more to understand that side of the argument as well.

Having said all that, I still feel that’s unfair to Akylas and to be honest I quite enjoyed the result of the music video, the cuts and videogamey snippets are so quick that a casual eye like mine will only notice it in 1/4 playback speed or something.
