What I learned from that video was that in order to play fast mandolin licks, I need to move my fingers in slow motion.

On the other hand, the dead-eyed zombie on the drums did a pretty good job staying in sync. But when ride hits, the splash cymbal magically moves as well - just like in real life?

I can accept having synth voices singing songs - because without that, you've just words on paper. But watching AI people "play" the music is where my brain draws the line. It's a step completely removed from reality: the images that you're looking at literally have no relation to the sounds you're hearing. Are you trying to convince your viewer that there's a real band there?

With the ability to create videos of virtually anything, it seems that having a locked-down camera of a fake band is the epitome of ick. But I'm an old luddite, so what do I know?

Yeah… I found the video unwatchable for that reason. Don’t need to be a Luddite to know crap when you are looking at it.
