AI – still not quite there

Actually, AI is still quite a long way off if we’re looking at this sort of thing.

Here’s some AI video art shared on this IG account.

“Some of the most memorable and strange moments in the Tour de France over the years.”

It’s clearly not completely rubbish: there are the hills, the pastures, the white guys in lycra and the crowds looking on. If you were shown this and asked what event it was, you would say “It’s the Tour de France”, but I mean, it’s still really pretty awful, isn’t it? That wave of pixels when the peloton crashes at 13 seconds is really the only believable bit for me.

I did love one comment on the video:

If only we could freeze AI right where it is now, between creative utility and hilarity.

Which sums it all up just about perfectly.
