the only people using AI are those who have trouble creating... take an art class piggy

On the one hand, I think there is a way to use generative AI creatively. There are a lot of guardrails and regulations that need to be in place first but further down the road it could provide some incredibly interesting soundscapes when guided by a human artist's hands.

On the other hand...no

It's not just about having to compete with products that are literally created via algorithms to be consumable, it's about protecting existing work from being poached and twisted.

It's also creatively bankrupt until genAI takes that step into protecting humans over generating profits.

Music takes love, algorithms don't love.

what a bad take. People have been creating art for hundreds and thousands of years before AI

Please, he must have put some money on this AI investment.

Only people who praise generative AI are the ones actively investing in it...

He’s right about when the drum machine and synths came out.  Same kind of push back.  Pop music is almost all digital production now. Why aren’t we up in arms about that?  
 

AI is here to stay - it will change humanity as we know it and future generations will simply accept it as normal - not a “threat” at all.  Being alive in any major transition like this is always difficult for society, and this is probably the most major of transitions imaginable.

He's not wrong though: if you're enough of a loser to use AI and post what it made, then you're someone who's ready to just putting anything out there. No trouble creating there.

But if you don't like AI, you think twice before making anything because you care about the end product being good

can you explain the difference between a drum machine & synth compared to gen ai? The comparison makes no sense at all

yes there was pushback but idg how comparing the pushback against digital music software back in the day in any way relates to the reasons people are currently against generative ai?
