Thanks for your kind comments!

I'm glad you pointed out the music. The music was also AI generated with a tool called AIVA [1]. I'd never composed a piece of music before, and I was pretty surprised by what I could "create". I spent 30~60 minutes max creating the score.

Some parts of their product still feel janky, but as an overall concept, it's quite fascinating. One of the interactions I enjoyed was that AIVA creates scores with different tracks (layers). So I was able to edit tracks I don't like (e.g., change a Piano track to Brass) or have AIVA completely regenerate certain sections of the score (e.g., redo the bridge, regenerate the chorus sections).

One difference from Midjourney is that there's no text-based prompting. Instead, you "prompt" through music inspiration.

Ah, cool!

So, basically, if I want it to compose Baroque music, I can give it Vivaldi, Bach, and maybe a little early classical, tell it to go to work, and end up with something that sounds like it came out in 1765?

I wonder what the limitations are on that whole "musical prompting" deal.

Your video was better in my opinion because it has a real story. All the Balenciaga videos out there are really just realistically rendered parodies with little or no emotion to them.
