hatari, a self proclaimed anti capitalist band, making an ai generated music video wasn’t on my bingo card this year. but here we are
making an ai generated video to criticise ai is not satire. it’s hypocrisy. and you don’t have to be a political thinker to understand that it’s both unethical and disastrous for the environment. they’ve done political satire many times in their career, but this is simply not it.
they could’ve hired an artist to create the same uncanny- ness of ai and make the supposed critique more prominent. instead they did this. frankly i don’t care if it’s some “fucking with the audience” moment because it comes of as lazy and shallow.
i’m really disappointed to see one of my favourite bands come to the point of such hypocrisy. the same band who (among other things) pushed me into understanding more about the horrors of capitalism. to now what? do something this thoughtless????
