- 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.
the grudge is one of my personal favs for this same reason, it just goes so hard towards the end
In the 90s, not so many talking about doing shadow-work, Maynard was.
AEnima - AEon + Anima maybe?
It's Jung's way of saying, "Know Thyself."
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...
Right, I would've a tually been impressed if AI portrayed that whole aspect which is kinda the main story
It got the gist.. the last shot shows some kind of evolution, some monkeys/chimps, some humans and look close.. not just humans, one has 4 arms!
But I think transcendence through self reflection still may be a bit much for AI to grasp.
that's why Tool's visuals are the way they are.
Maynard is a absolute lyrical genius how he he writes lyrics is God tier plus an amazing vocalist
Him and Hank Williams..The Best Ever!!
hey i didnt know this for the longest time, but the entire band co writes the lyrics together!
Lately he wakes up and writes with his morning coffee.
Ordering a bottle from his vineyard soon

AN absolute
This was my favorite song when I seen Tool live, back in 2010. The *best* concert that I've ever been to!!
Mine too, saw them in Toronto and my buddies and I all phoned in sick and we drove thru and bought scalper tickets for the next nights show in Hamilton. I haven't seen any concert that comes close to these guys couldn't hear for days without ringing was incredible
@@danrogers267 awesome! I seen them in Winnipeg, I'm a Manitoban. But yeah, that concert was ultra loud. The group I went with, we were yelling at each other because we couldn't hear anything after. 😆 That was a blast!! I'd definitely go again! Especially now that they have a new album released.
You SAW Tool live in 2010, you didn’t “seen” them. I’m sorry, I’m bored and correcting peoples grammar. But I’m doing it for your benefit. I’m trying to help you believe it or not.
No offense @@jiveassturkey8849 but I _really_ dgaf! This is a comment section, not an essay or exam for English class. Thanks for the heads up anyhow, I'll try to remember that for next time.
@@amodernalchemist432 you should gaf. Practice makes perfect. And I’m not offended, thanks for making sure that I’m not. You seem to be a good person
What a great concept! This is fng awesome!!! Thanks for doing this and thanks to Tool for making such a profound and meaningful musical experience. One of the greatest bands out there!!!
outstanding, mj (with your help presumably) did a great job with these prompts and in capturing the aesthetic of tool videos. im impressed
It's so crazy to see how these lyrics are felt by AI. Kinda scary just how good that AI is. Props on that...*with trepidation*
Humans are a.i. just like the computer variant, you all see or hear a word and act accordingly. Or what you believe is the correct action. None of you truly feel. You're too afraid to let consume you.
Well, it's not felt.
& you are obviously oblivious to how AI works. Its based on data sets and prewritten/dated knowledge.
AI cannot create something from nothing, therefore it's more of a buzz word to call it "intelligence"
It's taking words literally and cross referencing them to a known set of instructions & data.
Ultimately, it's 1's and 0's just following its programming.
My inner child would love to believe this stuff is sentient or otherworldly but it's just not. It's just like the games with multiple endings or paths to take, yeah they're there and make you "feel free" but at some point a human needed to program it.
It cannot feel, think, interpret or understand anything.
It handles variables & data structures & algorithms, written by man, limited by that.
The only thing that even comes close to actually intelligence is neural networks/machine learning, but even it is capped at a certain point.
Thats crazy shit because it can start with a handful of prewritten inputs & through trial and error create more inputs and paths within it's program
BUT, it is limited in that it still need the original starting inputs & it needs clear, VERY clear end goal/success & failure conditions set by a human.
Without those it wouldn't actually do anything at all.
& its still incapable of "choice" or "feeling" like we are.
As long as these things operate on purely electricity & precious metals, using binary 1's & 0's, it just can't become "intelligent"
Our brains not only have trillions of differeny neural pathways, but it also has analog signals with a yet again theoretically trillions of "voltage levels" or whatever you'd like to call it.
Furthermore, these signals produce chemicals that flow through our physical body making us "feel" our thoughts
& it is through those theoretically trillions of possibilities, coupled with the billions of other human minds reacting with it... you see
That's what creates intelligence, what creates us.
Until the way we design computers changes on a root, fundamental level, it just cant.
Art & artistic interpretation is only possible because of the unimaginable, unfathomable amount of possible thoughts, feelings, memories, teachings, mistakes, etc,. Alllllllllll combining together to make up our experience.
Another repitllian animal comes closer to feeling & interpreting things better than a computer can.
A computer simply just isnt, it's computing.
Damn! That is some bad ass imagery for these lyrics. Love aome of these so much.
Wow those images are amazing. Thanks so much for this video. I will watch many more times. I like the song but this interpretation is just memorizing.
This is amazing. Instantly got sucked in by the beautifully haunting pictures. Great idea, and phenomenal song
Difficult to name another song's ending more epic.
Ummmmm Lateralus???
Rosetta stoned
The pot
Pneuma. Best climax song ever created 💦
Freebird
That is the most intriguing video I've ever seen and set to a deeply moving song.
Great idea would love to see more Tool songs done this way.
Not only do i get to watch neat ai interpretation. I finally get to know wtf the lyrics are to tool songs
So awesome how he puts little seemingly obnoxious or frivolous symbol hits when Maynard is talking about the chaotic aspects
I love the Lateralus video so much that I have to comment b4 I have even caught my breath from dancing and singing to one of my very faves. Thank you !! ❤❤
If you're Tool Mom, there's no doubt I'm Tool Dad. Lol.
This is an interesting take on a fantastic song.
@@robbrown4420 saw them live 2x in past year = life is sublime
Dude this was incredibly inspiring.. Thank you so much.
The fucker running through the prairie was scary..
That last picture of all the stages of evolution. Amazing.
Absolutely love this!!! 🖤🤘
The evolutionary cousins at the end. Chills.
I always think of that movie, " Red Dragon" when I listen to 46 and 2. You are witness to a great becoming!
❤ Red Dragon/Hannibal!
Funny how literal the ai makes this song when it’s more philosophical when it come to the concept of the shadow.
Dude, I think you've got a niche! freaking generate more, the images are incredible!
Have you SEEN a Tool music video?!
@@thisisjames4474 I mean duh, of course; I thought the images here I thought were really dope, haha.
Incredibly generic yes
Favorite tool song. This is cool as shit. Nice job.
very fitting for the band
If these are made on MJ, you must be a master prompter! Great work!
Only the last image really hit on the point of the song which is about the human responsibility to evolve. Cool images though
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.
Umphrees McGee did an awesome cover of this @ Gathering of the Vibes Bridgeport Connecticut. Incredible energy-I was extremely impressed to say the least
I gotta say it is pretty awesome. Also, feels a bit like me making art concepts in early school which weren’t that bad on reflection but were very literal but nowhere near as realised as they could have been. Seen some of the best work in the world since. We’re fucked.
I agree with what you just said My daughter is an artist and I agree completely with what you just said it's like it's in its infancy maybe if we repeated the process something new would come from it later?
I miss the talks, I would love to see & have again.
That last image was amazing.
I need to go catch up on Tool. It’s been a long time. That music was powerful.
It would be fun too see an interpretation of a Rush song. Their lyrics are not as dark but still Conjur images in my head.
If you haven't kept up on the Tool albums in a long time, you definitely need to. Please prepare yourself as it is going to be a journey.
Except the images don't interpret the lyrics at all.
It’s not horribly far off. The changing shadows images were pretty close because those lyrics cross the literal threshold.
It’s cause the AI is using literal images for the lyrics. It isn’t interpreting metaphorical imagery.
Nice video .. stepping through my shadow
I love the imagery but may be in the minority that I don't think it fits the theme of the song. It's super cool and this isn't criticism, I think it's creative and great but it has a markedly dark and boding feel and I think the song is about introspection and personal growth. There is some uncomfortable aspects to examining the hurts that cause growth but I don't think it's all gloom and death imagery to do so, more meditative contemplation. The image of the evolutionary cousins all together was SUPER well done and insightful. I have always thought of it as PERSONAL self examination but your take of introspection on the nature, past and future of HUMANITY! Mind blown! Well done man! Again, loved it and not a critique but just the conversation that I hope Tool's and Your artistry intended to invoke. Keep it flowing!
I think Right In Two would be a good one too. Can you post the extra things you added? I think it’d be interesting to see what helped produce these gems.
Gems?
It’s artificial
Still think Artificial is a gem?
They got you 👽
The music vid for right in two is already so perfect though lol but I feel ya
@@jasonoliveras4928plot twist:
We actually got them, their relentless pursuit of control prove they’re terrified of us
just imagine maynard talking about these topics, ai, the attempt of normalizing aliens, the pandemic in a new album. the world fear inoculum was concieved in is no longer real. just imagine.
@@insanepykl3603 which is actually a fan video
Great job, thank you.
Nice. I like the other images mentioned 4:11 and end are personal favorites, although many would consider dark there is beauty in each, and there is always light.
How can you say it missed the point? Its effing right on the very soul of the lyrics....holy shit!
I don't think I've ever hit pause so many times in a video, the artwork is exquisite................................................................................................................................................................
I did the same. Would love to have these images hanging in my house
Yea this interp is off the mark . This song def speaks of souls evolution reflected within mind body and soul, not all this super darkness. I understand you have to go through the dark to get to the light but nothing in this interp speaks to that it’s all dark .. ❤️🙏🏻 we are truly all one
Ok I swore I wasnt going to get into the ai dream imagery, until now. 🤯
This is 1st AI art ive ever clicked on too. Scary impressive.
No problem
You made it to the
Negative AI timeline then
Don’t use your natural organic
Intelligence 7001/TOOL
Great song, great album!!
This is Awesome!!
I set an entire player's campaign arc to this song...one of the very best year of gaming I've ever GM'd...Maynard is...ineffable
It's nice to see AI is just as demented as a human. Cool pictures. I assume this is a new channel of yours with only nine subscribers. I just made it ten.
Nope
Go back to nine
This is Artificial
Get it now 7001/TOOL
Mindblowing
Lyrical genius!👍
Damn that was awesome!
Love this!
Perfect song with perfect animation👍
That was amazing. Very interesting
bro!!!! that was amazing! I can't seem to get Midjourney to give me such high rez, realistic images. You managed to get it to create stuff just like you'd see in a tool video. I love it. Hmu I'd love to know more about the process.
Very good work
Very cool to see just what Midjourney can come up with & as so many folks with the know how to use this program Midjourney must be thinking what have i gotten myself into LOL Hats off to all you folks that share you gift of making compers do what they don't want to as pretty much all the awesome imagery is mind boggling to us that just watch . I' play guitar but i have some recording experience but it sure ain't like this great horror experience , i love it !!!
AWESOME!
'Right in two' could be an Awesome midjourney-journey
You create more vids like this, with this idea and your channel will blow up.
The bass & drums drive this tune.
The images are very literal takes on each line or two so it feels a little disconnected. Still an amazing song
Awesome!!!
Dude...probably my favorite song of theirs and these pictures are SICK! Anyway we could download these images? I may just screenshot them. Definitely sharing this video! Vicarious has some interesting lyrics that tell a story that might be cool, or Aenema for sure! Wonder what F#ck L. Ron Hubbard would look like 😂
Very cool man! Great job.
I unfortunately deleted the pictures already, but feel free to screenshot. I was thinking of doing Vicarious or Jambi next
Relax
It’s artificial
Use your natural organic intelligence 7001/TOOL
Its like a graphic novel for tool. Totally something I could see them making themselves.
thanks for the video
Love tool captivating analogy on this
i feel like the AI must have listened to the song and watched every Tool video
No doubt. 💯🎯
the AI cannot understand the meanings behind the lyrics. it can only find images it was trained on that are tagged with the words you put in the prompt. this was midjourney, so you can look up videos explaining how it works.
AI as it stands now cannot think or understand.
@@SpydrXIII Insightful
Insane art
It is so close to tool’s art way before computer generated thoughts almost like a tool video from back in the day hope he’s sipping on his wine 🍷 and gets to appreciate how somethings carry over as is with or without the help of machines
This is fucking wicked, I never knew this concept existed
this is awesome
Very cool
Amazing. There was so much similar imagry to the actual Tool videos. I wonder if the Tool videos are a strong reference point for the AI? Could you please do Pushit, Jimmy or H?
I think it's spot on, Carl Junge would love it.
Great use of visual AI.
Love it
OMG! This is the greatest Idea ever!!
Great track
This is pretty cool 😮
Ok this was absolutely fucking incredible
It's incredible
Almost all of these visuals look they were taken from horror movies, so cool.
De toute manière cette chanson est une bombe, enjoy your ai project.
I'd love to know the additional prompts
Amazing
I always thought it was a dual in nature. You have the Jung-ian integration of the shadow- the realization of one’s own evil and potential evil as a broke human. Jung proposes moving through one’s shadows to achieve a higher self or self actualization.
At the same time 46 & 2 are the chromosomes on the double helix. It’s been posited that there is a higher being, one which is of the angles and the humans and they have an advanced chromosomal structure of 46 & 2. Here I assumed Maynard meant to go even further and evolve into another human being entirely.
Not sure what these weird monster images AI came up with.
I kept waiting for the transformation whatever promts you gave it made it keep depicting the dark side. Eventually he "comes out the otherside" we need to end triumphantly.
What models and art styles did you use to generate these. I use this software just looking for the similar look
Hell Yes!
Very creepy, very impressive. What a dark take. These images are what i feel inside when i listen to this. Its like looking into a tortured soul.
This is bad ass!
The shot at 1:50 might be the most Tool thing ever😎
I need a swamp song version like this..!!.
Awesome. Should do Aenema next
I found some of the imagery similar to earlier Tool videos. What gets me is how AI seems to go demonic when given info to interpret.
would be cool if you would post what variables you fed the ai to come up with specific IMG.
This has been my favorite song from Tool since I was 16, when Aenima came out (perhaps finally being replaced by Pnuema recently). I don’t think the images captured the meaning of the song all that well, though who am I to say what the meaning of the song is? Still there are some really interesting moments in this and I’m glad I saw it.
It captures what the human chose and interpreted... it is also very much close to the visual style of their videos "for some reason" The color palette is the same. AI may have generated things but ultimately it was made by a human. I can use the same tools and get a video that is rainbows and sunshine, probably.
The meaning of the song is what you take from it and is different for everyone. It was written around a theory from the famous psych Carl Jung. It's about how every person has a "shadow" they must confront or overcome in order to grow as a person. ... or in other words... evolve as a human.
Well if this is how AI thinks then guess The Terminator is a good possibility
