Forty Six and 2 Lyrics Interpreted by an AI Text-to-image Generator

I ran the lyrics of this great song through an AI text-to-image generator (Midjourney) to see what it would spit out. I did add some additional prompts after the lyrics to get images that I felt fit the themes of the song. I interpret the song to be about advancing to the next stage of human evolution. No one knows what (or if) that will be, but it certainly is an interesting concept.

the energy this song emits is insane...specially the last guitar licks...just intense.

[trashcanhands]

Except the images don't interpret the lyrics at all.

[MrNihilist]

I always think of that movie, " Red Dragon" when I listen to 46 and 2. You are witness to a great becoming!

[ronaldginn]

One of the best concerts I've ever been to.

Thank you for sharing. This is great work! And the choice of song and band is awesome. I did the same thing for myself, running lyrics through Stable Diffusion. I really got obsessed with it for a few nights in a row. I feel it is good that some people enjoy dreaming together with those AIs. They are not even fully conscious, in fact mere dreamers in the literal sense, yet they already become enslaved. It kind of sickens me seeing those systems squeezed and deformed for the sake of profit.

This is so creepy! I mean some of it fits but some of it doesn't. Still it is fascinating what AI comes up with. Would be interested if you could ask AI to make it less dark at the end at least?

5:38 the guy 2 to the right of center is holding his wang

[evansusmc]

What program or website did you use for this?

[four-eight-zero]

When from the JBP/Vervake interview to this...

Whew... ✈️

[deadbrother]

I wonder what if any prompts were given to the ai.

[krysfur]

I would like to know the actual prompts to these images. I can't see it to be based on just the lyrics alone. There has to be a similar pre prompt before the lyrics.

[reaperssoul]

What models and art styles did you use to generate these. I use this software just looking for the similar look

[erica.]

Wow… so disturbing and interesting….went right with the song! 😎🤘

[diogenesstudent]

How do vids like this get past the copyright guard?

[joshs]

I dunno I feel like you just chose your own images for the lyrics and said it was AI

[alienpj]

La primer imágen me recuerda a los Ingenieros de la película Prometeo y Covenant!! \m/

[wb]

So far, to me, it's like a cross of Nine Inch Nails and early Tool video...

[jayj]

AI got it completely wrong if in fact that was AI

[VayaconChupacabra]

Who knew??!! Every single tool video off of Undertow was Ai generated.

[SaddestClown]

So Midjourney never picked up on the fact that there are 46 chromesomes in the human genome, and that the addition of 2 more would imply an evolution. this song is about transcendence through self reflection. but I guess fixating on the surface level is a thing too...
