@@thegaynomad Well actually, it's possible that many of the 'light sabre' images come from different types of beams that are not light sabres: One looks like thin sun beams shining through trees (komorebi), one looks like a thin torch or lazer beam, and one looks like a light beam diffracting through a prism (a weird one though because it's red to orange spectrum). What they have in common is that they are verticle. This could be because it makes for a more symetrical picture and it's possible that the programmer has told the AI that symetrical pictures look better. So it's possible that they look like light sabres by accident.
I’ve just realised that that’s a fuckingly depressing song. I still love it very much, it’s just a bit funny how those positive vibes coexist with a song about loneliness and basically the thought that some people can be happy only while they are asleep
Regarding your last sentence, that's a great way of seeing the song, I just don't think that's the mainstream one though. Usually we see this as loneliness and longing, yes, but the Mr Sandman/dream is only a metaphore & a play on the word dream to talk about providence bringing around a chance meeting & a partner. loneliness & longing yes, but instead of "only happiness in dreams", still the hope of finding "someone to hold" irl Probably you're right as well, but I'll take hope where I can find it ^^
I think that’s the literal interpretation, but i’ve always seen it as mr sandman being a personification of life/luck, and bring me a dream meaning make my dream a reality.
@Butter Crab Almost all the Sandman pictures the AI made are basically the character from the Sandman comics, so this one would be no issue for me to guess, at least.
Love the consistency in how it interprets "sandman" as a tall, black figure with frizzy hair standing taller than any human could in the middle of a desert. Really drives home the feeling that this is some kind of Lovecraftian prayer
Look at the art for Neil gaiman's the sandman. I mean the actual comics and stuff from way back. All these images are not lovecraftian. The massive majority of them are actual artwork that's out there of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman.
@@victoria7tWell, about if they are not "Lovecraftian" - Gaiman himself listed Lovecraft as one of his inspirations - especially Quest of Unknown Kadath.
This is so cool! I love how the AI's interpretation of what the Sandman should look like is constantly changing appearance just like people in your actual dreams do.
As great as they are, I'm just not sure they're always perfect. A good artist could definitely use it for reference, but just depending on it for art is really short sighted.
@@cozzb1938 OK, so fun story, I want to the Philadelphia art museum and saw some of those really abstract pieces up close. In pictures they look so simple, but when you see them in person, you see the little imperfections, the decisions, the deliberate strokes and choices of color. Yeah, art is a scam, but at the same time, when you see these pieces in real life, you can see the effort put into them.
@@carlycrays2831 it tends to not do well for more photorealistic images, or multiple faces, hands and anything with both a face and something complex along with it. Dalle 2, is another ai that is stronger in the photorealism department, but midjourney will always be better for art. The tech is likely to get much better at these issues soon, perhaps in a years time even
It's probably because AIs don't create art, they just grab pre-existing art that falls under the keyword used then mix it and trow up some weird amalgamation.
Of course it's gonna look like our Mopheus, it grabs various pics on the internet when you search "sandman" and then try so hard to blur&blend everything to avoid a frickin copyright lol
The "pair of eyes with a 'come-hither' gleam"(1:39) are fucking terrifying! On another note, we need a version of this except it's "Mr. sandman, sand me a man"
That was incredibly interesting, every image felt like it completely connected with the lyrics in every way. That made me scared, sad, and happy at the same time, incredible. Thank God.
@@Siegfried5846 That's one way to interpret it. I mean I felt the same thing for some parts of the song, like for some images it made me feel like this was a very romantic song, and in another, it felt a bit.......demonic ig
The image series tells us a story about a desperate woman making contact with a fathomless being of sand and dream-stuff. She wishes for a man to fill the void in her heart, and the Sandman obliges in the most revolting way... The lantern-eyed thing that it has created could perhaps generously be called a man, but its horrid visage drives the poor woman insane.
Sandman is an eldritch being but despite trying his hardest to help he takes everything literally, and he doesn't understand why the woman is mortified.
That woman is MidJourney AI's leitmotif. She's everywhere. Most times with red haird and looking to a man in the distance. Must be an AI bug or something.
I adore this depiction of mr sandman, the imagery of this unusually tall figure with a bowler hat gives such weird vibes, and as someone who's always liked to draw concept art for games and such, this brings me great inspiration.
What scares me is that this is just the _beginning_ of AI capabilities. And that people are rightfully discouraged to learn to make art. Human artists will become a very rare thing.
Interesting how some of it seems to understand the lyrics poetically while other parts such as “peachy” it interpreted literally. Would be cool to see someone make an animation based on these pictures!
I can’t imagine the band would have ever thought an A.I. would ‘dream’ about their song, so to speak. I’d love to see songs of a century ago receive this treatment. Henry Hall’s Hush Hush Hush would be an interesting take!
@@riftsalty7562 i meant like an apocalypse taking place in western times with horses and shit i love FNV a lot but it only really has a cowboy aesthetic
I imagine a sort of story to this. The story could be that a human girl lives pretending to be a robot in a robot world. She discovers there is a legendary Sandman, the closest thing to human left. It is omnipresent through all soil in the world, but currently lays dormant in a temple. The girl finds the temple and unleashes him. To thank her the Sandman promises to grant her a dream or wish. She wants to find another human that is in hiding like her, for some company, and the Sandman and her search around the world for a human. The Sandman finally finds him but the girl is on the other side of the world. She makes it her mission to eventually meet up with the man, and must tread through deserts and sail across vast seas to find him. In the end they get married and have children in a secluded forest, and they live the rest of their life humbly.
I really like that every time that the verses tell him is lonely nights are over the image can be viewed as either a single person standing alone or a shorter person leaning against a taller one because of the way the figures stands That's just really cool and I wonder how much of that is based on AI "intention" or if it just lucked out on the base images it chose Either way very pleasing results

Like the light sabre that Luke Skywalker holds aloft in the New Hope posters.

Yo, the Sandman kinda be dripped the fuck out in all his fits, goddamn.
There's always one
he has everything you can dream of
'cause he's based on the comics Sandman

Is this english?
Now let's do the reverse. Let's show the picture sequence to humans and see if they can figure out the song.
thats a good idea actually
this should be a game show
@Butter Crab Almost all the Sandman pictures the AI made are basically the character from the Sandman comics, so this one would be no issue for me to guess, at least.
@Butter Crab technically, you only have to recognize 1 image.
Just start making the videos like right now. You had a good idea, you should capitalize on that if you can get the ai image thing
Love the consistency in how it interprets "sandman" as a tall, black figure with frizzy hair standing taller than any human could in the middle of a desert. Really drives home the feeling that this is some kind of Lovecraftian prayer
Thats just Neil Gaiman Sandman fron "The Sandman" comics
I'm pretty sure it's because of the Netflix series and comics
Look at the art for Neil gaiman's the sandman. I mean the actual comics and stuff from way back. All these images are not lovecraftian. The massive majority of them are actual artwork that's out there of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman.
I always kinda pictured this song being good for _Nightmare On Elm Street_ as an ironic song for Freddy.

Yeah, but most of them still look like Dream of the Endless
It's because it's incapable of generating the same thing twice 😆
It's unsettling how good these pieces of art are, I can't believe they was made by an AI!

Mr Sandman sure looks like the Neil Gaiman version
1:24 Im glad the AI settled on a being with a shadowy obscured head.

Great idea for a video and the artwork is surprisingly good for the theme.

PLEASE do more of these
These are incredible omg. So intrigued
This is such a creative genre of video, there should be more like this!
What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong. Hopefully it will reduce my fear of AI.
When you realize the lyrics to a classic song from the 50s were something out of a nightmare.

This is the creepiest thing I've seen in the last two days. It's like you made a horror film out of this song. Thanks
I love how dark and creepy some of these sweet lyrics appear
Shout out to the AI making this song a depressing post-apocalyptic drama
Beautiful!
Awesome 🌟
0:27 ngl that's lock screen material right there
its crazy how creepy this song becomes just by seeing these images
Very interesting, incredible artwork
these are hauntingly beautiful tbh
From a cute old song, to the stuff of nightmares. The “give him two lips like roses and clover” image is no, regrettably, burned into my psyche.
I really love the background images. I'd really love to get them for my own computer background. I say this without shame!
I can’t imagine the band would have ever thought an A.I. would ‘dream’ about their song, so to speak. I’d love to see songs of a century ago receive this treatment.
Henry Hall’s Hush Hush Hush would be an interesting take!
The lips and eyes pictures were really cool.
Ya know, a lot of these look like they would great book covers.
oooh! Great classic!
This was beautiful! Like inspiration for a movie :D most the time too, the sandman depicted looked a lot like the one from Neil Gaiman's comic

The sand man that we know: put sand in your eyes to make you sleepy
Al: just a giant dude chilling in a pile of sand
That “come hither gleam”, though…
1:34 this one looks very delicious.
Om nom nom
Dude, a channel that just does stuff like this, would be awesome
This song paired with these images are very unsettling. It’s like those videos of unnerving images with unnerving music
Why are these pictures so pretty 😭

This just made me sad as hell
Those eyes do not give a "come hither" gleam

This is just 50/50 between beautiful images and eldritch terrors from the deep
These AI are creative af. I like it
Boardwalk Empire vibes. Nucky just pulled out a cigar at a late night gala looking down on everyone from a stairway landing.
There’s something eerie about this…
I can’t scratch my head around this…
This is how that one dr who episode goes
Skeep no more
Every time I hear this song I think of John Candy in the movie “Uncle Buck” this movie definitely needed a sequel.
Definitely need more songs treated like this.

Oh my god this is a nightmare fuel 😭😭😭 Glad I watch this in the morning, not at night
