The people pushing generative AI "art" are always like "I've always vaguely wanted to become an artist but I never tried and now I don't have to!"

Soulja boy made crank dat in a pirated FL studio. Chance the Rapper recorded his first mixtape “10 day” on his 10 day suspension AT THE LIBRARY. Ed Sheeran recorded his first album in his bedroom. Ego death by the internet was made on garage band. SKILL ISSUE!!!

About to purchase this online course by Lionel Messi on how to be pro footballer, I think I’m still in with a chance of making the Prem.

if you take no shots, don’t expect to score

Prompting an AI isn't art. If you're only describing what you want without doing any of the actual work, that makes you a CLIENT, not an artist. It’s like ordering from a restaurant and claiming to be the chef.

I honestly think if as a person you're impressed with things like this then you are an idiot that shouldn't be allowed to interact with other people

This! Stop with the fake analogies. AI is not like the camera. It’s not like recorded music. It’s not like the printing press. AI is rooted in exploitation. It could not exist in the absence of existing works. It is wholly derivative.

Regardless of this being AI. This is a terrible song, soulless hollow performance, derivative as hell and really obviously AI. Not sure how anyone can appreciate this slop if you know music.

At best this looks like a computer game.

What I’ve noticed about all this AI art / music / video talk is that lots of people have incredibly basic and shit taste, so they accept this basic AI art slop as good and mind blowing.

Case in point. People lap up this awful looking crap just have no taste.

These are the people that lead the tech industry and they want to create tech for the music industry. It is this mentality that translates to the absurd fights we have about paying for the use of art. They dont understand it and most importantly, they dont care to learn and

They told you to sell your house to purchase a jpeg of a gorilla blazing a spliff

Lmao. Just say you don’t know what a dj actually does.

It’s always the same bait and switch.

i know not everybody is the biggest JBP fan but EVERY artist and creative who cares about their longevity should watch this.

every public sycophant and world loser seems to love AI, majority of artists and other cultural figures with a modicum of intelligence is against it. it’s impossible to say who’s right

Good analysis of what I see in a lot of the younger generation online and irl. Apart from the AI overhyping nonsense, it made me think three things: - the system is broken - there is going to be a breaking point - a real redistribution of wealth is needed like the 1950s/60s

Is this also BS like all those fake stories about LLM’s “blackmailing” its users?

I reiterate what I said back then - the idea that "nobody" in Easton, Bristol speaks English is flatly untrue.
