I believe purity tests of any sort are problematic. And it’s much too easy to throw around the “This is AI slop!” claim. AI was used in the main title sequence for the Marvel TV show Secret Invasion. But it was on purpose and aligned with the show’s themes of shapeshifters.

Anyway, Daniel John, writing in the Creative Bloq:

[Lady] Gaga just dropped the music video for The Dead Dance, a song debuted in Season 2 of Netflix's Wednesday. Directed by Tim Burton, it's a suitably nightmarish black-and-white cacophony of monsters and dolls. But some are already claiming that parts of it were made using AI.

John shows a tweet from @graveyardquy as an example:

i didn’t think we’d ever be in a timeline where a tim burton x lady gaga collab would turn out to be AI slop… but here we are

We need to separate quality critiques from tool usage. If it looks good and is appropriate, I’m fine with CG, AI, and whatever comes next that helps tell the story. Same goes for what we do as designers, ’natch.

Gaga’s song is great. It’s a bop, as the kids say, with a neat music video to boot.
