I finally got a chance to look at this (last week's been busy)
and...yeah, concur with the general opinion.  I've seen worse, but I
cut it off around 0:45 when five women had the exact same face.

It's been a good way to get songs out to people who wouldn't normally
listen to audio-only content, but it works better when it doesn't
pretend to be real.  I've seen better examples of AI content
pretending to be real - the Amelia videos I've seen have been pretty
good, even if I disagree with the political views therein - but those
take more effort than slapping some quickly generated visuals on an
existing soundtrack.

I wonder if there needs to arise some counterpoint term to "AI slop",
to indicate AI-generated or AI-assisted content of quality comparable
to most human artists, which generally takes quite a bit more work to
make than slop does even with AI.  (I was going to say "with current
tools", but by the time tools progress enough that worthy quality
content can be as easily made as slop can be today, slop will likely
remain even easier.  Though, we may someday reach the point that AI
has learned what not to make, so you have to specifically direct it to
make "2020s style slop" if that's what you want.)
