That horrendous AI John Lennon is completely tone deaf

AI John Lennon

We've seen a fair few controversial uses of AI art in the past few months. From winning entries to art and photography competitions to AI 'models' in fashion and backgrounds in Netflix animations, almost every week brings fresh controversy. But an AI-generated John Lennon is provoking what must be the most universally hostile reaction yet.

The creepy, tone-deaf AI video brings Lennon back to life (just about) to laud the merits of AI image generation through a bizarre script that packs in cringeworthy plays on his lyrics in phrases like "give prompt a chance" and "prompt is all you need" (if this doesn't completely put you off AI forever, see our pick of the best AI art generators to see the tools available and the best AI art tutorials to learn more about how they work).
