AI is a tool.
Artists and engineers using AI as a tool can get further than people not using it at all.
I don't mind that Opus and Codex were trained on my code.
I don't mind that Seedance and Veo were trained on my YouTube videos.
I benefit from the models.
Purely a economic argument but also the rare good music from AI I am still looking its generally speaking not that cohesive and for unremarkable. A lot of human work is that to but the discovery of good music from people feels much less daunting
That's not to say you can't make effortful novel content using AI, but this is just lazy hollow stimulation. Like all the laziest of AMVs, nothing to say outside of "isn't this cool?".
We want to see the person underneath and what ideas they explore through the medium - AI is just a fancy new tool of the times.
Who cares what brush or canvas Vincent used to make Starry Night? Without his name on it, it's just another oil painting.
Social media already shows people love this stuff. It's only the 1% of terminally online whiners that have to project their take on it.
And I've worked with enough artists that kick ass with these tools to know this is the new normal.
People on social media follow creators who make novel content irrespective of how they made it.
AI generated content will always be lower quality because the entry level is literacy, hence YouTube intervention with their "it's probably not worth your time" label.
The idea that only humans can make music is absurd.
> I guess she can listen to slob but maybe just look around a little instead?
The idea that AI generated = slop is absurd.
Humans create just as much, if not more slop. Look at 99% of "professional" output in creative fields. It's awful.
A human with taste steering AI tools can be better than a "classical" human with hard skills but no taste.
