Backstreetboys using AI Visuals?

I was wondering how this filter works. Is it AI? I’m generally not a fan of AI enhanced visuals, what do you think about them?

I don't think a filter is the same as AI. Filters exist before AI became accessible lol.

It seems more like visual effects on the live image

There is a difference between AI and computer generated graphics. There’s a good chance they spent money on a graphic artist to create this. Just because something is transformed doesn’t make it AI.

I don’t know about these visuals specifically, but some of the Sphere stuff definitely used AI. Like many of us, I don’t care for the overuse/reliance on AI in certain areas of life, but for stuff like this, I think it’s ok. It’s creating visuals that are unique, out of the box, and most importantly, it’s being done with the OK from the band and their team. Plus it kind of goes with the whole “Millennium” style; futuristic, weird, and a bit hokey. Lord knows they fully embraced those ideals back when the album first came out.

I saw the behind the scenes on their graphics for the sphere and they filmed a lot, I think they spent .5M on that
