i need everyone to understand: if we accept this, it'll be the only fucking thing you ever hear again. soundtracks. waiting rooms. store music. it will destroy the livelihoods of tens of thousands of musicians; not stars with radio hits, but average working composers. pic.twitter.com/GxGV2f8Qau

people who make good music have a passion for it, i don’t see how AI would change that. maybe they’ll have rhe same reactions as the inkcels and claim it’s literally killing them or something.
as for grocery music and elevator music, they both fricking suck already and there’s no way to make it worse. how hard is it to just deal with it for half an hour at most

Yea I have a similar experience with these things, in that the only artists that cry about AI are the ones who feel threatened by it- those who make banal, mediocre and easily replacable '''art'''
The artists who actually make interesting stuff, be it paintings or music or whatever and have amassed an audience and thus don't feel insecure about their craft generally don't buy into this AI panic

The harsh truth is that 90% of people who study art/music just end up being wagecucks making corporate elevator music and forgettable poster designs because they don't have a creative bone in their body. They tell themselves lies that what they do at least needs some creativity, and the fact that STEM dweebs can write a program that spits out the same mundane trash confronts them with that.

Creativity being associated with artcels is just a psyop. The reality is that actual STEM requires the same level of creativity, and the mediocre wagies don't, just as in art.

I'm hoping I can either wait it out until I retire at 60 in the absolute white collar comfort I currently enjoy, of we just rip the fricking bandaid off and I can go be a lumberjack/private military contractor while I'm still young. But good God don't cuck me in my 40s
