True, wonkiness level is high. Still impressive compared to not having this emerging tech a year ago. It will get better of course.

But wate of computer power? No, not at all. You are missing the novel creative aspect of this. This level of wonkiness is absolutely perfect for music video producers, and I am betting it will not take long before we see videos in this “style”. Some time ago there was a short trend of data moshing videos. They were certainly trippy and stood out, albeit short lived. Digital artefacts as a way of creative expression can work great, and will too in this case.
