Watch: A Surf Edit, With Creative Direction From Artificial Intelligence

Therapy with chatbots. Algorithms digging into your insecurities and loves. An intelligence fluent in every language, spinning fake peer-reviewed papers and burying them in fake archives, poisoning public discourse. An artistic interpretation of Elon Musk in a cassock, secretly pleasuring himself in the confessional. 

Safe to say, we’ve plunged into an unsettling era of artificial intelligence. Despite expert caution, the weird does not appear to be going anywhere, so we might as well get used to it. A quote from Hunter S. Thompson would probably sum it up. 

Kai Gale Grani is a 20-year-old goofy foot, a rare Mediterranean export, and Rivvia’s latest signing. Born in 2004, he’s very much part of the AI gen — raised with it as the norm, not as a looming apocalypse. 

Kai spent a good chunk of time in Indo this year, and to show for it, he slapped together a 13-minute edit, heavy on AI-driven creative direction. Think smoke, flames, and, of course, some damn good surfing.
