What is Memento Mori, the AI music video from Gen AI University?
Memento Mori is an AI-generated music video created by DARTHANDER, an experimental project exploring the fusion of AI-generated music and visuals with human creative and musical direction. The title is Latin for “remember you will die” and the video pairs DARTHANDER and AI DJ Ghostie with imagery of a skull, a tulip, and a neon cyberpunk cityscape as a daily mantra to embrace life today.

According to the video description, the song and video were created using AI-powered tools combined with a human music producer inside a 48-hour production window. Some elements, such as the AI DJ Ghostie character, had already been created before production began on this experimental project.
