We see stiff-moving avatars to electronic music among tulips and windmills, beer-drinking people with blurred faces in a pub, puppets in party clothes, and some fairground images. Yes, it is a jolly lot, and the lyrics we hear clearly link to carnival. But friend and foe will quickly agree: musically, textually, and graphically, there is so much to criticize about this piece of music<\/a> that it will never be able to become a real hit. Not to mention the “spirit of carnival,” which – although difficult to define anyway – is nowhere to be recognized here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that’s not what this music video’s creators aimed at in the first place. “This project is not only a creative expression, but mainly an attempt to spark discussion about the role of AI in our daily lives,” they say. Accordingly, the music piece by Danny Bloks and Erdin\u00e7 Sa\u00e7an, both teachers at Fontys ICT, was produced entirely with the help of AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why this is important<\/h2>

It’s carnival, the annual celebration where everyone gets to shake off all their worries for a while. Music and human emotions play an essential role. Not exactly a place where artificial intelligence can play a role, you might think. And yet, two ICT teachers have tried just that. “To spark discussion about the role of AI in our lives.”<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n
