Just three days after she shared her new single, "Artificial Angels", Grimes released the song's accompanying music video. Watch it below:
Self-directed and edited by the artist — with additional help from KNGMKR and Charles Williams — the visual mirrors the goofy, tongue-in-cheek, yet still provocative tone of the track's original cover art. (As I described before, it's pretty buzzword-y.)

The "Artificial Angels" co-producer VADAKIN stars as one of Grimes' cavemen.
After starting with an anime girl shooting a hot pink sniper rifle, the music video goes full-force into flashy and provocative territory. It proceeds to show cavemen falling in love with the avatars and drones, glittery fake ads for weapons and hi-tech oxygen masks, video game footage, and logos for controversial generative AI companies. (OpenAI's Sora, which attempts to generate video from text-based prompts and trains on copyrighted material, bounces around while Grimes dances in front of a green screen.) Grimes smokes an "acceptance" cigarette from an "OpenAI" pack, and she wields a plastic gun alongside the avatars, who occasionally dance at a North Korean military parade or sport Soviet uniforms. She also runs around with a bow and arrow, trying to hunt down her bubbly, pastel-clad, "artificial" version of herself.
