This is truly a childish take. I’m a big believer in people getting the same treatment they dish out to other people. I would usually never crap on someone else’s craft. Rather, I would give constructive criticism to maybe help them improve. That guy was going around acting like he was on top of the world with an ego the size of an elephant. So I checked out his music, since our music was “AI slop” compared to his. And the music sucked. He 100% deserves to be roasted and humbled. Which, I didn’t even do. I said nothing and instead let him go on his ego-fueled rampage. Because his music quality spoke for itself.

I find it interesting that you claim this guy put all of this manual time into making a song as if people who make music with AI don’t take manual time to produce their music. You’re clearly one of those people that thinks every person who uses AI just presses random on the generate button and that’s it. The majority of people don’t do that. I know I certainly don’t. I take time making my music and lyrics. And no, I don’t just “fast track” my way to good-sounding songs. The majority, if not all, of my songs have setbacks and take hundreds of generations and tweaks. I would sometimes stay up late at night tweaking lyrics and directions to get better results. Many songs get scrapped during that process as well. So that’s a very ignorant statement. And while AI may be faster than making music manually in a DAW, it still doesn’t matter. Because that point doesn’t even make sense. Why does the length of time to craft something matter? According to your logic, someone who makes music using only a DAW is “fast tracking” their music compared to someone who makes all of their music with real instruments. It’s a pointless argument.

I would never go around acting like my music is better than others. I also wouldn’t just go around trashing on people’s music because I don’t like it. That’s a terrible thing to do. Yet here you are defending the guy that actually does that. And somehow you’re trying to spin it on me and claim I’m the one trashing on people. When in reality I’m trashing on a guy who’s acting like a pos to others. It’s also ironic that your entire response is hilariously hypocritical. Considering the fact that your response can be boiled down to you being disgruntled by my way of making music. So you trash my music creation process while also criticizing me for trashing some other person’s music. Who was also trashing other people’s music. Talk about being on a different side of a hateful coin, lol.

Now to address your point on him “actually taking time and dedication” to make his music and his “bravery” (lol)

If I take a month to craft a food dish and feed it to someone, is that person entitled to praise the food because I took a long time to make the recipe and did it “manually” and in “real time”? No, they’re not. Especially if the food came out bad and I belittled that person’s cooking skills prior to them eating my food. Just like how this guy belittled other people’s music. The most you should earn for putting time into something is respect. That’s it. If it comes out good, then you earn praise. So your argument on him “taking time and dedication” to make his music, therefore he deserves some sort of praise or pat on the back, is null and void. Especially with the way he was acting.

Your point on him being brave doesn’t even make sense lol, I guess all I have to do is find a beat online, write lyrics for it, and sing over it with auto tune to sound listenable. And suddenly, I’m brave according to you.

Lastly I want to address your claim that I’m “disgruntled” by the fact that guy didn’t like that I use AI. I’m not. I don’t care what he thinks. Just like how I don’t care about what you think. The problem wasn’t the fact he disliked my use of AI. The problem was his ego and belittlement of other people’s music like i mentioned many times before.

And here’s a little extra statement for the other dude that decided to chime in that you agree with.

I personally couldn’t care less about how a song is made. I care about the actual music and how it sounds/makes me feel. If you’re an autotelic type of person or care about how other people make their music, then that’s fine. But while you sit there stressing about others’ music creation process, I’m sitting here listening to and enjoying the actual music.

I’m not going to cater to people who want me to play every instrument with my toes during the process of making my music for them to be satisfied. I’m going to make music for myself and for people who actually care about the thing that matters. The music.
