Using AI Technology in the Music Video 'PPN 12%', Slank Aims to Be Robin Hood

Slank is innovating again in their visual work for the latest album Republik Fufufafa. One of the songs that caught attention is PPN 12%, whose music video was entirely produced using Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Bimbim explained that the use of AI in the clip aims to realize a fantasy concept that is difficult to achieve manually. In the video, the members of Slank are depicted as heroes fighting against illegal business practices.

"The 'AI-Full' one, the second one, the '12% VAT'. We want to be like Robin Hood, robbing dark businesses and spreading it to the whole people from our airplane," said Bimbim when met at Potlot, South Jakarta, Friday (5/6/2026).

Although using advanced technology, Bimbim acknowledges that directing AI has its own challenges. For him, the technology still relies on human creativity that provides instructions or prompts.

"The challenge is instructing AI. AI is smart if we are smart; it becomes better. If we instruct it poorly, it will be poor too. And now they say AI is sensitive, you can't say 'Ah you're stupid', or eventually, we'll get blocked," said Bimbim.

This album contains 10 songs with diverse themes, ranging from social criticism to love songs.

"The titles are 'Ku Tak Mungkin' and 'Di Dekatmu'. 'Di Dekatmu' was actually finished during Ramadan. Suddenly, we ended up going for Umrah... in October we went for Umrah," said Bimbim.

"At that moment, suddenly I thought we need to add lyrics, we need to add melodies. So eventually, melodies and lyrics were combined six months after the album was completed," Bimbim added.
