Pink Floyd celebrated the 50th anniversary of their album 'The Dark Side of the Moon' with an animation competition.

One of the winning entries utilized AI technology, triggering significant backlash and controversy.

Fans and critics accused Pink Floyd of betraying their tradition of handcrafted art through endorsing AI-created work.

The debate intensified around the ethical implications of AI in art, with some viewing it as exploitation and theft.

Questions arose about the judges' decision-making, especially concerning Gerald Scarfe, known for his association with Pink Floyd's hand-drawn animations.

The contentious AI-generated video overshadowed other winners and has sparked conversations about AI's impact on the future of artistic practices.
