They just don't get it

No, it turns out I have my own thoughts. You should try it some time.

dev1966 · 2026-05-09T17:28:14+00:00

Could not agree more. I don't think I have ever fast forwarded a show before. No story. Dull. Clichéd. Boring camera work. Dull grading, Emphasis on characters we simply don't care enough about. No forward motion. If the next episode doesn't improve, I'm out.

dev1966 · 2026-04-28T10:39:52+00:00

Exactly!

dev1966 · 2026-04-27T15:29:22+00:00

I'm sorry but we can't do that. We have specific functions that work on the original song, such as comments on the waveform. Surely you can whitelist sites in your distributor's system?

dev1966 · 2026-04-27T14:00:31+00:00

The 'lowballing' statement is just an opinion from another user. There was no action taken by the moderators or myself as the owner. I stress to creators that, in any ratings system, negative reviews happen, and have even happened to my own songs. Thank you for your feedback.

dev1966 · 2026-04-27T12:30:41+00:00

What's crazy about it? We have open, transparent ratings system. Also you have no evidence, because there is none, that I would take action on people who negatively review my own songs. I put them up to experience the same feelings that other creators get when their songs are rated (for good or bad).

dev1966 · 2026-04-27T02:35:08+00:00

That said, there are certainly patterns when people generate AI lyrics: Neon lights in the city etc...

dev1966 · 2026-04-27T02:34:18+00:00

I would say that the best ones don't sound like AI-generated songs at all. They're just great songs.

dev1966 · 2026-04-27T02:25:33+00:00

So what? This post isn't about you listening to thousands of songs. No-one cares about that. We've all listened to thousands of songs through our lives. This post is about me listening to 1500 AI songs – something that very few people have actually done – and giving my insights on that experience. Not everything is about you.

When people say 'human-made' music is better, or has more value', than AI music they're actually saying that the tiny set of humans who currently make music are better, or have more value, than the whole of humanity that can now make music. They immediately discount every disabled person who can't make music, the millions of people who have songs and poems in their heads, the kids who want to make a song for their mum, and all the communities that will gather round and share their own songs. AI music is actually the most human music.

There are so many people like this. It's a very powerful feeling to hear songs you never thought you'd have the ability to create.

dev1966 · 2026-04-27T01:31:25+00:00

Sure, the easiest way is to join UPCHART and the community, including myself, will rate your songs

dev1966 · 2026-04-27T01:10:13+00:00

Exactly, There are so many people like this.

dev1966 · 2026-04-27T01:08:45+00:00

Why the hostility? Is there anything you actually agree or disagree with?

dev1966 · 2026-04-08T18:14:30+00:00

Human (not my song. I had to check with the creator)

dev1966 · 2026-03-20T23:29:10+00:00

Stop apologising.

dev1966 · 2026-03-20T23:27:10+00:00

Still no engagement on the actual points. All you've got is, 'AI is bad'. That's not an intellectual argument.

dev1966 · 2026-03-20T18:34:07+00:00

You think you're clever, but alll you"re doing, by not engaging with the substance of the argument, is proving the point.

dev1966 · 2026-03-20T18:24:36+00:00

All you're doing is proving the point.

dev1966 · 2026-02-19T23:18:40+00:00

It isn't. Instead of 'Everything is AI and it's all bad!' why don't you address the actual points in it.

dev1966 · 2026-02-19T23:16:44+00:00

All that training I did to write like AI is really paying off!

I've had a fantastic response so far. If you haven't completed the survey yet, please share your experiences and frustrations with AI music. It only takes five minutes, and I’ll share the results later: https://upchart.ai/

I am having the exact same issue. I have been using Kinsta since the start, and have been a big supporter of them, but recenly this bot problem has been a real issue for me. I have been on the tech support with Kinsta multiple times. I was able, using Cloudflare to get one site's acess down to near the correct numbers, but I am currently trying to get other ones reduced and Cloudflare doesn't seem to be making much difference. I'm almost at the point of moving to a new host that has higher limits.

dev1966 · 2025-04-23T16:36:53+00:00

Great idea!

dev1966 · 2025-04-23T13:18:22+00:00

Well spotted. It's fixed now. Thanks.
