Guns N' Roses Use AI to Create Surreal Imagery in New Music Video
-
Guns N' Roses enlisted generative AI to create surreal, dreamlike imagery in their new music video "The General". The AI takes the band's established visual style as input.
-
The studio combined AI-generated art with hand-made elements and their own CGI to "augment the studio's output, rather than replacing the work of artists".
-
The AI "dreams" over footage and images, morphing elements in uncanny ways, like toys becoming threatening and biomechanical creatures appearing.
-
The studio plans to explore using AI in other GNR projects, like mixing it with their live iMAG projection system to create augmented reality effects.
-
The creative director sees AI as a creative tool to "amplify and augment" art, not replace artists, wanting his team's human role in the AI art to be recognized.
