No, it isn’t …in response to the rage bait headline. It was an “artist” choice by the show runner(s). Was it good one? YMMV. To me, it looked like most of these abstracty opening credit sequences you see these days. I fully support artists getting opportunities and $$$ they deserve. But this mediocre credit sequence would not have caused any eyes to bat if it weren’t for a few rage-bait tweets and headlines capitalizing on tangentialy related recent news. Who even watches them after the first episode when the “skip intro” prompt shows up? Except GoT…those credits slapped and gave tidbits about the episode.

If anything, I think there’s an interesting discussion to be had about the future generative art in consumer media, and as an inevitable tool -like so many other balked at new technologies- in Art or any other discipline.
