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.

There have been genres in which the talent didn't really matter since at least the 90's. Eurodance for example. Who cares who made it as long as you've got hours of doon-sh doon-sh 4:4 thump for club goers to sweat on each other to? I think Ableton cranks out a new Eurodance track if you create a new document and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F7.

Movies, on the other hand...what they said was "audiences won't care that movies have AI actors in them", what I heard was "audiences won't care about movies anymore."

I mean it really hasn't mattered since computers came on the scene. Most "musicians" play the computer, not an instrument.

Besides that, not only can slop bots make perfect electronic music, it makes perfect rock music that no one but a true audio person would notice and maybe not even that.

I'll stuck to all music made before 2015 thanks. Save for a few new artists I trust. Everything is shit now.

Well with rock music...that was a genre that thrived on pleasant surprises, which can no longer happen in the era of digital downloads.

Rock music was born alongside the 45 RPM single. That's how kids in the 50s consumed pop music. You'd buy the record for the A side...but they often put something the label had less faith in on the B side, often something the artist was pulling for. And "The B side turned out to be the big hit!" is a tale told over and over again for three decades. From Rock Around The Clock to You Can't Always Get What You Want.

It mostly stopped in the 80s with the advent of CDs. CD singles were a thing; that's what mini-CDs were originally meant for, but in North America at least it wasn't really a thing. But with CD albums...A CD holds twice the audio that an LP does, so you start getting bonus and filler tracks, sometimes hidden. That's where a lot of "The artist was really pulling for this track" songs went. Billboard changed the rules to allow songs to chart even if they weren't released as physical "singles" around that time. Which is why Bon Jovi's story isn't "Livin On A Prayer was the B side of You Give Love A Bad Name" it was just track 3 of Slippery When Wet.

The rise of digital downloads/streaming killed this.
