I am a little shocked at the lack of solidarity I see between artists working in different mediums wrt genAI.
Musicians who would never use it to make music use it to make cover art
Graphic artists reach for it to make music over their videos
Writers use it to illustrate their articles
And, considering software development an art, many use it to create web sites or apps to host their art.
None of this is necessary. All of this is harmful to the other artists.
Collaborate ffs.
Stop it.

Yep. And people want to work on something they're passionate about. So unless you're actively collaborating all through the creative process, it's mostly going to be one person's creative vision. You can say that the music video is a collaboration between the animator/effects artist and the musician, but if the musician has something specific in mind that they want to make, that's not going to feel like a collaboration for the video artist,it's going to feel like a commission. Which no one wants to do for free.
