‘I Got the High Ground’: A Star Wars Music Video Featuring Bass Windu and Obi Dawg

Sample lyric in “I Got the High Ground,” from YouTube channel “ai am a jedi”:

My aura is purple, your aura is broke / The dark side is for lame motha funkers / Bro, you a joke

Yes, the video is heavily AI generated. It’s also an exceptionally well-done parody, a spot-on pastiche of R&B videos from the ’90s and 2000s, right down to the rap break. (I believe all of the music is created and performed by humans.) I laughed my ass off watching this and the other videos on the channel. (From “Do You Slap It?”: “What ain’t no planet I ever heard of. Do they slap the bass in What? Bass motherfucker, do you slap it?”) There are good uses and bad uses of AI. This is a good use.
