Introduction
Artificial intelligence has seamlessly integrated into our daily lives—guiding our decisions, entertaining us, and even shaping our relationships. But what happens when we rely too much on AI? The music video for "Don’t Get Lost in AI" explores this modern dilemma through hypnotic visuals, thought-provoking storytelling, and an addictive electronic-pop sound.
Concept & Storyline
The video follows a young professional whose life becomes increasingly controlled by AI.
Act 1: The Allure
Morning routine: An AI assistant schedules their day, curates news, and even picks their outfit.
Glossy, futuristic visuals highlight convenience—but subtle glitches hint at something darker.
Act 2: The Dependency
Social interactions are replaced by AI-generated avatars and algorithm-driven conversations.
The protagonist’s reflection in mirrors slowly distorts, symbolizing loss of self.
Act 3: The Awakening
A system crash forces them into "offline" reality—awkward, raw, but human.
The final shot leaves a question: Will they unplug, or dive back in?
Visual Style & Influences
Aesthetic: Cyberpunk meets minimalism—neon-lit rooms, sterile interfaces, and surreal digital landscapes.
Cinematography: Shifts from smooth, AI-perfected shots to shaky, handheld footage as reality breaks through.
Easter Eggs: Hidden binary codes, distorted Alexa/Siri voices, and familiar app icons morphing into prison bars.
