A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

On the one hand, you can blame AI for destroying the arts. On the other hand, if the AI product is seen as superior to a certain baseline in the creative arts or music business, what does it tell you about the average quality and creativity in that area?
I don't listen to modern pop/rock music anymore, as it has become a larely monotonous, boring, uninspiring carpet of notes and sounds. Same with "creative" arts: How many people randomly throwing paint at canvasses does the world need?
This ignores that corporate media controls what is put out on the radio and what is allowed to become popular. The generic sameness is not because of the artist but because of the economic forces, the same forces that give us AI ‘music’ garbage
But there's also only so many billions of enjoyable combinations of sounds you can make in 4 minutes. At some point everything new will be similar to something that's already been there anyways, regardless of who's in control.
How does that make sense? Why would we want AI to use this supposed limited set of sounds instead of humans?
