Nile Rodgers says AI helped create his upcoming charity Christmas video with Rebecca Ferguson, and that he directed the process himself. Digital Music News reports that the use of AI drew criticism from fans, prompting Rodgers to defend the project.
Why it mattersRodgers says he created the mood boards and storyboards, and that the AI did what he instructed. He also argued that making the video traditionally would have cost about $100,000, while describing its aim as bringing joy to ill children. It’s a concrete example of AI becoming part of a creative production, not just a talking point. But where should the line fall between an artist using AI as a tool and audiences objecting to AI being used at all?
Discuss: Should audiences judge AI-assisted art by who directed and made it, or does using AI change the work enough to justify rejecting it?
