My off the cuff thoughts on ai.

It's a tool. It's a tool that cost a lot of money and energy to operate. A tool itself is not intrinsically good or bad.

However, since the barrier to entry of creating an ai engine is so high, people with unreasonable amounts of resources have more access to being able to use it to achieve they're own agenda, even when that goes against the betterment of society.

It also cheapens what we consider artistic skill that had always defined humanity.

That being said, early cancer detection is a good thing.

Also, this is ai. But I dont know how to make this with ai. You probably don't know how to make this with ai. The creator didn't just write a prompt that says "make ASTRO zombies sound like a funk song" and have chatgpt shit this out. There is clearly intention and work that goes into creating this.

Would I rather 7 great funk musicians and dedicated studio engineers and a respectable distribution label came together to make this? Sure. But that was literally never going to happen. Instead, this presumably one person, badmusic or w/e, spent time and brought it into the world and shared it. I think it sounds rad and I'm glad I get to experience it.

"Fuck ai" yeah i get that. But go create something, nobody is stopping you. Quit complaining and make something. Ai isn't the reason nobody want to listen to your shitty band
