"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I used to think the internet would be fantastic for music. It gave small artists (small as in not on a major label, not small like Lilliputians) a path for distribution.
Around 2000 it was really good. Lots of websites popped up for indie bands. I found a TON of music during this time.
After a few years this got saturated by lots of indie artists with GarageBand. The quality of the music started to fall making it harder to find more seasoned musicians and songs that were more than a simple looped riff.
Now musicians have AI slop to contend with making it even harder to find quality indie artists.
That's just swell.
