This Band Used AI To Edit Their Music Video And Created A Mind-Melting Acid Trip Like No Other

Jean-Pierre, a blitzing new track by death metal band Hardcore Anal Hydrogen isn¡¯t your everyday easy listening. You¡¯ll most probably hate it.

But you can¡¯t deny that it¡¯s music video trippy as heck and a feast for the eyes. Warning, it's about to get really loud.

The cool part is that this music video exists partly thanks to artificial intelligence researchers, especially computer image processing like Google¡¯s Deep Dream. It speaks to just how artificial intelligence can completely change how video editing and special effects will work in the near future.

What happens with Deep Dream is that the AI is trained to recognize an image, for instance a cat. To do this, you train it on thousands of cat images. Once that¡¯s ready, you then process a completely different image using the knowledge of the cat. The AI then attempts to draw the shape it¡¯s learned on top of the new images. What you get is something like this...

Here, the band also used another AI image processing technique called Neural Style Transfer. Here, the AI is trained on the art style and colours of an image, which it then tries to manipulate a new image to fit.

It¡¯s a pretty cool process to explore, and you can check out Hardcore Anal Hydrogen¡¯s entire guide here.
