I mean this pretty literally though - I'm not particularly interested in these questions. They've been discussed a ton by people way more qualified to discuss them, but I personally I feel like it's been pretty much the same conversation on loop for the last 5 years...

That's not to say they're not very important issues! They are, and I think it's reasonable to have strong opinions here because they cut to the core of how people exist in the world. I was a musician for my entire 20s - trust me that I deeply understand the precarity of art in the age of the internet, and I can deeply sympathize with people dealing with precarity in the age of AI.

But I also think it's worth being excited about the birth of a fundamentally new way of interacting with computers, and for me, at this phase in my life, that's what I want to write and think about.

I appreciate the thoughtful reply. I will try to give you the benefit of the doubt then and not extrapolate from your relatively benign feelings as it pertains to a creative art project any capacity for you to take up engineering projects that would make the world worse.

You get your votes back from me.
