Tech bros adding one more nails in the coffin of creative people. I don't care about the tech behind nor the quality it produces, right now this thing causes a huge fear and sadness among the media composer community. People like Connor contribute to the devaluation of music and the unemployment of composers. I'm waiting for the day that AI comes after his "job."

That's being done too, Devin is an AI programmer.

I can't believe that humans would do that to other humans (and to themselves.) I wanted AI to take care of my daily chores like cooking and shopping so that I could devote even more time to my craft, not the other way around. These people won't end up to be on the right side of History.

What is stopping you from devoting time to your craft? You can still do that, nothing changed.

I think that you need to be explained the situation slowly with simple words? How are composers and musicians supposed to make a living if our clients choose an AI tool that can deliver okay-ish music in a few seconds at a fraction of the costs? How can we devote more time to our craft if the craft stops paying the bills? Especially when this AI tool has been trained on copyrighted data? There are examples and proofs surfacing at the moment that the Beatles catalog or Edith Piaf for example were used for the training. Udio is deleting these tracks as fast as they can but it's already in the hands of lawyers. It seems that the battle for human-made art is not completely lost just yet...
