I am a little shocked at the lack of solidarity I see between artists working in different mediums wrt genAI.
Musicians who would never use it to make music use it to make cover art
Graphic artists reach for it to make music over their videos
Writers use it to illustrate their articles
And, considering software development an art, many use it to create web sites or apps to host their art.
None of this is necessary. All of this is harmful to the other artists.
Collaborate ffs.
Stop it.

Yeah i mean ive seen some straight dogshit album covers for good music. Its not like the cover sells the thing anyways.
Royalty free music is pretty cheap to come by and coding isnt that difficult.
If you need a thing and cant pay for a thing, then learn to do the thing. A shit job is better than ai generated imho
What programs have you written?
Seriously! I yearn for the old days of really crappy photoshop album covers! They’re at least an earnest expression of what the band is trying to convey
