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.

AI generated artist

No

It's not an artist, it's a computer program. More to the point, it's a distance measuring type database whose input was the hard work, sweat and tears from real human beings and whose output is a mix of that but lower quality

There is nothing new, nothing inspiring, nothing renewing, it's just as if they took all historical songs and tusees them in a blender and still filtered out the best bits that were left.

There is no singer that can awe you with her extreme vocal range, there is nothing that can touch you on your heart. This is pure ones and zeroes at work, all directed by some asshole who used some mathematical algorithms to figure out what sounds should be combined to make as much money as possible.

That is the crux of it: real artists work hard and mostly starve whilst giving you something from the heart. Managers and record companies would then make money off that (and keep most of it anyway). Now it's just the money makers and they can tune everything just to be the perfect money printer machine.

Over time, expect much, MUCH more of this and yes, real artists will likely mostly disappear because as always, a small group of people like us will protest this and reject it, but the big masses will just lap it up anyways

This is why it's important to patron and support artists.

I disagree that real artists will disappear. Rather I believe that the underground will be more relevant than ever.

And so much deeper underground
