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.

Quite ironically, this statement is probably a true one whether it's a slop gobbler or a slop hater looking at the comments. π€£
Indeed
I am speaking from the perspective of a hater, and if gobblers end up blocking me instead, its still a win for me lmao
π Ayup. This post has been a gold mine of accounts to block. After mocking them.
Some of these fanatics are utterly arrogant greedy narcissists with no redeeming qualities at all.

It's like sitting at one of those old player pianos you'd put the rolled paper in and it would play the sing itself, claiming you are a modern Mozart. Despite not creating the piano, music roll, or ever doing anything special besides putting the roll in.
OTOH, is using electronically created music not art too? If you write your music and put it into FL Studio or something similar to "play" the music for you, is it not art?
I think the electric piano is a false equivalent here. Electronically created music is not the same as AI.
I have little issue with electronically created music so long as you actually created the music. As in going into the DAW and doing it yourself or inputting the music you recorded and doing touch ups. Whatever the case, it'd be hypnocritical of me to be against it, as someone who has created music using Musescore in the past.
Hell, I don't have a problem with some forms of AI ( not genAI ) in music, considering the latest vocaloid generation ( vocaoid 6 ) have come full circle back into using some form of machine learning to make voicebanks. Also because there are other programs that do similar things, but I can't fully trust a 3rd party voicebank isn't gonna be stealing another persons voice without consent.
I just happened to use that old piano you'd expect to see in a western movie because I had it on my mind.
I think it depends on the extent to which an individual influences the end result. If the paper roll is pre made and the individual is merely placing it in its intended place, then that is different from carefully arranging notes and effects in a DAW.
Bruh, NPR had an interview recently with an author who is a fairly big name already. She was preaching the glories of ai. Like how do you fall so hardβ½
I read this as all glazers and I was wondering what this person had against glass installers.
Indeed, classic. AI isn't good enough for THEIR domain, their expertise, but for stuff they know NOTHING about it's somehow OK. Total lack of introspection and Dunning-Kruger effect.
Little children on toy cars on a merry go round, wildly steering in every direction - same energy.

It's the same thing in game development. Sure AI can actually use most modern game engines now and make an ok-ish game. It's not exactly inspired and without further human touches it's not going to be a saleable product.
Thing is that you can't even use it as a starting point because the code is such a mess that is impossible to use it as a baseline.
Somehow AI has replaced stack overflow as the even more useless advice forum. At least SO had amusingly rude comments.
Couldn't find one where it doesn't call OP a phony, but didn't look too hard.
I don't care. This isn't Reddit. I am not on this planet to spend my time complaining about others.
I am here to have fun, and as an artist. I'd rather just enjoy my own journey than worry about somebody else's.
