"Meet the AI rapper funded by a far right party"

No... No, I don't think I will.

So the far right is now following an influencer that doesn't exist... Makes sense, they're also afraid of the Dem, trans, woke, communist, elitist, gay, Muslim, female, leftist, atheist, scientific, immigrants!

Since you cannot copyright an AI creation, someone should just make him do like a woke anarchist rap or something.

[–] coalie@piefed.zip 22 points 1 day ago

It would be better if the woke rap was performed by real musicians but then using this ai's images so they could actually copyright the music.

I think we all know that most of the Right's anger is due to repression. I think this AI needs to start confessing to the deep and sordid things that make him so angry. Confessing his deep and all consuming desire for pediatric necrophilia should really unburden his soul.

Impossible copyright infringement of the derivative of the stolen generic. Love it.

The irony of a group of frustrated males following the messages of make believe entity.

We've reinvented religion

[–] db2@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

Irony? Repeating pattern is more like it.

We are getting to the stage where we need laws to say that machines cannot impersonate humans. Synthetic humans are banned.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, I’m sure that will be allowed to happen. Right after “you can’t use everyone’s doorbell camera as a giant worldwide face-tracking panopticon” and “PC components should be affordable enough for anyone to buy instead of having to rent cloud desktops from an AI datacenter”

We are way way WAY more fucked than you think already.

I see a lot more hoodies and face masks in our future.

Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind?

[–] mPony@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

religions have been forged from far stupider fiction

[–] Greyghoster@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago

Getting to be that sort urgency.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 0 points 19 hours ago

There's already a white rapper named Bones

"I like the music people with souls make, but I'd like the lyrics to be more like the gaping black void that is my heart."

[–] etherphon@piefed.world 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

What kind of sad, pathetic, angry people make things like this? I really do pity them. No one is out to get you losers.

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 5 points 1 day ago

The people making the slop absolutely are.

Oh there's plenty of people out to get the average person. It's just almost never the scapegoat that a political party selects.
