Recently, a song "Once Upon a Time" re-written and sung by AI has caused a sensation on the Douyin platform, receiving more than 730,000 likes and becoming the focus of recent online discussions.
On July 27, Douyin blogger Makona shared this video of "Once Upon a Time" recreated by AI. Different from the original song, the lyrics of the AI version are full of abstract images, but they are performed in a serious manner. This contrast instantly attracted the attention of a large number of netizens.
The lyrics are filled with descriptions of bizarre scenes such as Winnie the Pooh picking spicy sticks on a tree, Spongebob playing mahjong under the sea, and so on. This kind of unconstrained creative combination not only makes people laugh, but also triggers people's in-depth thinking about AI creativity. Netizens have expressed that this extremely abstract lyric writing style seems to have surpassed the scope of human imagination.
However, what is surprising is that despite the extremely abstract lyrics, the AI's singing level is quite good. This contrast further highlights the versatility and potential of AI in the field of music creation. As some netizens said, a good song lies in the music rather than the words. AI's performance in melody control and singing skills is enough to prove its strength in the music field.
In fact, after experiencing the wave of AI singers reviving the Chinese music scene and the impact of AI music generation tools such as Suno and Udio, the public has already accepted AI’s participation in music creation to a certain extent. But the extremely abstract lyrics style like this remake of "Once Upon a Time" still brings freshness and surprise to people.
This phenomenon has triggered people to think deeply about AI creativity. Does AI really have the ability to think abstractly beyond humans? Does this seemingly nonsensical creation contain some kind of logic that we have not yet understood? These questions are worthy of further discussion.
At the same time, the popularity of the AI version of "Once Upon a Time" also reflects contemporary Internet culture's pursuit of novel and humorous content. In the Internet era where information flows rapidly, content that can quickly catch users’ attention and arouse emotional resonance is often more likely to be widely disseminated. This nonsensical creation of AI just meets this need.
However, we also need to be wary and should not simply equate AI creation to disordered random combinations. There may be complex algorithms and massive data support hidden behind it. This reminds us that while appreciating AI creations, we must also maintain rational thinking and explore the nature and boundaries of AI creativity.
Overall, the popularity of the AI version of "Once Upon a Time" not only demonstrates the infinite possibilities of AI in the creative field, but also reflects the public's growing interest in and acceptance of AI artistic creation. It not only brings us joy, but also paints an imaginative blueprint for the future of the combination of AI and art.
The success of the AI version of "Once Upon a Time" lies not only in its unique creative style, but also in the way it triggers people's thinking about the creativity and future development of artificial intelligence, which deserves our continued attention and exploration.
