sucks

There are some cool ideas, but why vibe the whole thing :\

Not my vibe

Slop

I completely fail to see what the point of productions like this is. The graphics are AI generated, the music is a bunch of old tunes and the code is AI generated, the effects and design are derivative (and the pacing / flow of the demo is slow). It's like a very average C64 demo from 20 years ago, but without even the effort of doing it by hand. At least that way there would be some level of "craft" involved.

As a sidenote before anyone points it out: there is of course nothing new about re-using other people's tunes, graphics or code, the very first demos / crack intros etc were prone to doing that. That aspect has always been around. But rarely it's been so that there is nearly nothing of "value added" in a production of this size by whomever put it together.

What I would like to truly understand is what exactly is the creative part here (and in similar AI-creations). What is the spark, the essence or idea the author had, apart from "make a generic demo with some 'math stuff'" and what kind of sense of accomplishment can one gain from producing something like this. As it stands, I am unable to wrap my brain around the mindset that could see any fun in this.

I'd ask my AI agent to watch and summarize it for me, but I ran out of tokens.

The future is not here.

Based on the credits listed in the CSDb, it seems that the "creator’s" only contribution was turning on the machine. I hate giving "sucks" ratings, but I just can’t get support this. Isn’t it a better feeling to learn and grow? To create by putting something of yourself into it—your creativity, your experiences?

and finally, a quote from the CSDb: "The era of the posers"
