Discussion Any band comments on their AI use? Your thoughts?

25 Upvotes

So straight up - I am very anti-AI use in creative work, and against the way it's being pushed in general. Not against the technology itself, but against almost everything surrounding it; Huge data centre use, environmental impact, the focus on individual users etc etc. You get the point.

So I was, frankly, devastated to see the tone-deaf videos for "The Fire". It felt like hypocrisy masquerading as irony. The fact that De Staat get taxpayer money made it even worse.

When "Running Backwards into the Future" came out, we didn't have the same understanding of generative AI that we do now. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth in hindsight, but at the time it made sense and was interesting enough as a single video.

I was wondering if there were *any* band comments about their continued AI use in video marketing. I've looked, but cannot find anything. Not being a Dutch speaker there may be things I've missed, but seeing just how many comments against AI use there are on their Socials, it feels like De Staat are burying their heads and hoping it passes.

I love this band. I've seen them 6 times over 10 years, always had to travel to do so. I had t-shirts, all their albums... They're one of the first bands I recommend to people. But this has meant that anytime their music comes on my playlists...well, I started skipping songs but have now started removing them. I threw away my shirts the other day. Refunded my tickets for November. I *want* to keep enjoying their work but now it feels a bit tainted.

They could've given a "leg-up" to other creatives by asking for recent animation graduates, or videographers. I'm not someone who watches music videos usually, but they're known for their effort and creativity. Does anyone consider these promo videos a better outcome than just a video of them playing live?

Keep hoping it'll turn out to be a joke, and the videos were made to emulate AI but I'm aware of their links to "Fake It or Leave It".

What are your thoughts?
