"The apocalypse is well on its way," Cave wrote. "This song sucks."
so, he's pissed off because an AI-generated song... sucks?
good artists will keep creating good art; lazy ones will create more and more worthless artificial art; smart ones will be able to offload some of their work to these helpers. The world will carry on.
Good artists will keep creating good art; record labels will keep pushing increasingly cheap and braindead bullshit strangling any hope of actual innovation made by anyone who needs to make a living to survive.
Human culture gradually grows into an easily consumed, regenerative cheeseburger-like mess. A billion near identical five second snippets of unprovocative entertainment that satisfies nobody but the shareholders, but feeds endless masses of consumerist dopamine slaves until they slowly die of boredom without ever having thought an independent thought in their life.
And the world, indeed, carries on.
the worst part is that by this description AI is not really changing things. It seems to me the industry was always headed that way and AI is maybe speeding it up if anything at all.
These are rarely "AI problems".
Yes, the mainstream is quick to use AI as a scapegoat because their frogs have been thoroughly boiled by corporate profiteering, which is the real problem.
This is true - at the end of the day it's just the age old struggle of maintaining humanity in face of modernism. Apollonian versus Dionysian, John Henry versus the steam drill.
What's worrying me is that humanity appears to be losing ground fast, and that AI not only speeds up the process but makes fighting back even harder.
