I don't mind AI music when for example played in the background of YouTube video. That's a neat use case, because otherwise you would need to deal with Copyright holders for each piece of music, and that sucks.

But I'd still rather listen to regular music made by human artists, because at the end do we all want to be just humans that the only thing we pursue from life is to consume AI 'art'? Fuck that dystopic future.

I think you helped me figure out where I stand on AI. What is "the thing"? Did AI create "the thing" or was it a tool to help the creation? Part of a YouTube video is a perfect example. If I want music to set a mood, and I didn't have anything specific in mind, fine. That's about 5% of "the thing" and I can understand using a new tool for the job. But all the random shitty AI-generated pictures floating around social media where that's the entirety "the thing"? They can fuck off.

Basically, do things for the human, not the bots or the clicks. Unfortunately I don't think we're far off from Dead Internet Theory - we have LLMs creating content for SEO. Basically one bot creating content to please another bot. The human element has become an afterthought.

Anyway, thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
