We aren’t going make it to 2030 are we?

Are they trolling spotify or is Spotify trolling us? What is the story here?

I'd vote crap even if it weren't AI generated shit.
Apparently my uncle has been "inspired" to "make" "music" using AI, in honor of my late dad. I'm sure my dad would be honored that after dedicating his whole life to music some dipshit can write few clumsy prompts and come up with lit bangers.

I'm eagerly waiting where music will go when AI uses AI generated music to train itself.

Also this:

Something WEIRDLY INELEGANT about that single-note plucking!!

Not in a Shaggs sort of sense, but in a "Fuck this A.I. shit and the horse it rode in on" sense.

I swear, there are some tech bros and internet idlers who seem hell bent on destroying art.

The technology will likely get better, achieve something closer to verisimilitude, but it's hard to imagine anything great coming out of it.

Yesterday I bought the complete recordings of Jackson C. Frank. According to him, the blues run the game, not clicks and likes and data prompts.

Like we needed AI to generate another Khruangbin. Shove off, tech slime.

in the same way that Cronenberg makes a film about a future where people eat plastic and we call it body horror, I'd call this brain horror, I don't have to experience it in real life, thanks

Seriously. Fuckinghell I hate that band.

My 15 y/o made a pretty good fight song about an imaginary sports team called "The Mundelein Penises" using Chat GPT.....for some reason the algorithm decided to pronounce penis with a short "e" in the verse, but a long "e" in the chorus, leading to much chortling and guffawing. A certified banger.

that's sort of my question.

are we blaming spotify for this while acknowledging that they're likely the biggest victim/sucker as well?

of course, we all suffer for this craaaaaap. but no is forcing me to listen.

Spotify might be a sucker, but it's no victim.

I didn't see anyone blaming Spotify.

Spotify exists to fund that Ek douchebag's military software endeavors. Fuck that service. Buy the album (from a real band).
