alt Hacker News$100 AI Music Video: Claude Fable 5 vs. GPT-5.6 Sol
Comments
These are awful. It’s like Suno music. Seems convincing if you half listen. As soon as you pay attention you notice all the cracks.
Unsure if it's just the way they prompted it / coded it, but the output is far too much a literal direct copy of the lyrics. The best music videos have a story arc on the theme of but often not litearlly the lyrics, and start with obscurity and reveal something (following all the literary/story mechanisms)
Consider Amber Run - Found lyrics versus the video, and the story arc of the video
> None of the music videos were great
Glad they acknowledge this.
Curious how much time in addition to tokens this costs. If you have to spend $25 and wait 45 minutes to get a basically unwatchable video, I'm not worried about indie film makers being replaced just yet...
It is jarring to me that most of the dancing seems slightly out of sync with the music. It is like a music video uncanny valley - images look good, but the lack of sync to the sound shatters the illusion entirely.
These videos are far from good, but it's possible to create a decent AI music video if you use a human-in-the-loop workflow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52Km88uAZ4M
When the line was "don't believe me just watch"
And then the clip was literally just an arm wearing a watch!
That's freaking hilarious!
It's like someone playing charades
Interesting article, but those videos aren’t. Not even pre-MTV quality.
While checking out the gallery, came across this image:

There’s something wrong with it, but I just can’t put my paw on the problem.
Embarrassing!
You can still delete this, there is time.
There's definitely still room for innovation in custom use cases with AI. I like to write and draw comics, but it's very time consuming to make a finished product. Working with tools in default and you'll have a bad time. You have to really guide it and if you're using a longer story to adapt, it'll compress things and lose context during Thinking. Luma labs was the most interesting tool I've seen so far, but there's still a lot of room for growth
Seems like if you build some more scaffolding around it, it wouldn't be bad. I think AI video isn't quite there yet so you probably would want to lean into that. For example you could ask for an animated or cartoon music video so the real shots don't look weird. Also if you gave it some guidance on what a good music video is like it would probably help as well. But yeah idk may be that's not the goal here.
Spice 1 released an AI video for Jealous Got Me Strapped. Got a young AI Spice 1 and Tupac. I see on his channel he put out another AI video in 2024.
I did let Claude Code Opus + OpenRouter API Key (limited to 25EUR) create an an Arthouse Video about "Is AI art or can it go?"

I like the scene with the hands.
The GPT ones are strange. The $25 fable one to me is subjectively better than the others. The $100 fable one is too literal and robotic.
The jevons paradox is you need auteurs to curate vignettes or effects and cut or mask them in etc. That's not really different philosophically when software entered art in other ways. I could see errors/glitches lowering in time but I doubt there will be much acceleration.
AI videos as in remotion based videos look much better imo since it can code much better than it can prompt for videos with a coherent narrative

Please repeat this with models from MiniMax:

(No affiliation, I just want to see how well they work).
Regular music videos (including the writing/recording) can easily go into 6 figures. I wonder what the $200,000 AI music videos looks like.
Did it misunderstand "don't believe me just watch" and put a bunch of washing machines in on the Fable 5 $100 at about 1:20?
I don't know how much WickedAI is putting into creating their videos, but if you want examples that aren't terrible, https://youtube.com/@wickedai
Passable as an episode of Robot Chicken.
Pretty neat that the gallery of videos plays from where the previous one was paused. Nice UX.
How well do these models do producing a proof-of-life video? Asking for a friend.
These are pretty terrible, but for me there were at least a few moments where they genuinely became "so bad they're awesome". They actually re-enforced an idea I keep coming back to: sometime soon a real artist is going to use AI to make something amazing, not by aiming for flawless "realism" or some kind of pastiche slop, but by leaning into the weirdness that often comes out of AI.
Skip the Claude Fable 5 $25 video to 1:42. The disembodied Adams' Family hand is on the job.
They are terrible. Perhaps if one on purposely prompts for a weird imaginary, the result could be less awful even acceptable, like that famous Gucci ad. These videos instead are common scenes with the super cringey AI artifacts.
Wow. These are horrible. Sort of refreshing. I thought video was better than this now, but I guess not.
The fable $25 version was the best.
Please stop using AI for creative work. This is utterly abysmal.
Wow. These are all terrible. Music video producers can breathe a sigh of relief.
claude’s is bad and chatgpt’s is horrific
As a clanker-apologist I gotta say this is the strawman of AI slop brought to life. Letting the machine do literally everything without even supervision and see how it turns out? No surprise at all the results are so bad.
My fav AI video is still Post-Scarcity Blues from a year ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_t3h2AZ0KY There have been others I've enjoyed since then. But, that one stands out in memory. Work warning: it is occasionally just a bit spicy.
Welcome to the Age of the Plateau. Enjoy your stay, everything is very mid, but it’s oh so cheap to make.

These are getting really good. Much more interesting than the average music video already.
This is my favorite AI generated (or assisted?) music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctBpVI6lRyo
I mediocrity was a visual style.
