I'm not a carat, but I love how you've delivered this video! as an artist, i feel very strongly against AI-generated media such as ai 'art', voices, singing, photos, etc. artificial intelligence as a whole was always meant to simply be a tool to aid us creators, not a crutch. it should certainly not be used to replace someone entirely, either. good video!
EXCELLENT commentary!!! THANK YOU!!! You filled in a lot of blanks in my own theories, though I'd like to present an additional idea to add to yours. Everyone keeps saying the real maestro is Seventeen, while forgetting that Seventeen never makes grandiose claims without saying it's not possible without Carats. So I personally think Seventeen is ALSO saying WE...Carats...are the REAL maestro. Woozi alluded to it when he sang "You and I" making music. Jun sings about us creating together. Wonwoo (fight scene) said (paraphrased) tell me what rhythm you want because your wish is my command. There are also the hands conducting from the camera's (our) point of view; and when Mingyu turns around, he sees someone IN THE AUDIENCE with the baton. So I personally think CARATS are the real maestro. Everything they do is "conducted" by US. I don't think this detracts from your theory. I just think it's another layer...because Seventeen NEVER has JUST ONE obvious answer to anything they do...and I LOVE IT!!!
I really appreciate your great work! Personally I'm someone who's quite apprehensive of the advances of AI...but the way you put it makes me have a different and open perspective. The mv conveyed a sensitive issue which is quite thoughtful of them. Once again I've learned smth new from you! Thank u! 🙇🏼♀️
