Eclectic Method (Jonny Wilson) has been delving into the artistic possibilities of artificial intelligence. In this video, he's fed video dance sequences into an algorithm and prompted it to produce anime-style characters dancing. The song is a real bop, but watching the dancers takes you slightly into the uncanny valley. You will recognize a lot of the dancing here, but it's not the people who originally make those oh-so-familiar moves. And the cartoon characters don't necessarily look as you'd expect. For example, there's a split second where you see what is obviously Pee-wee Herman dancing on the counter, but he has Steven Seagal's face. But really, is this any odder than rotoscoping by hand?

With all the CGI graphics (like Jar-Jar Binks), computer-enhanced effects (unlimited replication of a single image or group of images into literally a cast of thousands – like the Oompa-Loompas seen in the Johnny Depp version of Willie Wonka, or impossible effects like those seen in movies like 'The Matrix' or 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'), and now AI technology as has been displayed here and elsewhere, who's going to need humans make music or films at all any more?
