Gustavo Cerati’s children criticise updated “Me Quedo Aquí” video amid AI speculation

Lisa and Benito Cerati have criticised the updated video for their father Gustavo Cerati’s “Me Quedo Aquí,” saying they found the result unfavourable.

Their objection followed online speculation that artificial intelligence altered the late musician’s appearance. Fans questioned apparent changes to Cerati’s facial features after a preview was posted on his official account, but neither the account nor his children confirmed that AI was used.

In a statement shared by Lisa Cerati on Instagram Stories and reposted by Benito, the siblings drew a sharp distinction between the video and the audio reissue, according to Consequence. Both are musicians, and they said they supported the remaster of Ahí Vamos because it preserved the intended rawer sound.

“Me Quedo Aquí” had received a treatment “that we didn’t see before all of you did,” they said. The siblings said they did not know the details of the enhancement process or the tools used, and deeply regretted not being consulted.

The official account had described the work as an effort to improve the original music-video footage. It presented the revised “Me Quedo Aquí” alongside a high-definition video for “Crimen” and the 20th-anniversary remaster of Ahí Vamos, the album originally released in 2006.

The remastered album reached digital platforms on Nov. 12, with physical editions released on Nov. 13. Cerati died in 2014 at age 55.
