I use AI to make songs and pictures for my friends. I barely even listen to music that I didn’t have a hand in making. It’s my favorite genre by far. My kids too. Personalized studio quality songs all day, every day. I suddenly have the power and time to make things I enjoy. I think there’s going to be a hollowing out that’s going to happen where we might not have another Michael Jackson or Taylor Swift or famous musicians because why bother when you can just listen to your own custom tailored tunes. All that matters to me is that I like the song. I don’t care if someone built a custom keyboard or did it on a Stradivarius violin.

You don't make. You ask the ai to make a song about some vague concept and then clap like a seal as it delivers you un-challenging and bias-confirming slop.

> I think there’s going to be a hollowing out ... All that matters to me is that I like the song.

Everyone consumes, and nobody makes everything. But you're describing a future in which nobody makes anything and we all just suckle directly on the soft serve machine.

How grim.

I think for many people, maybe even most people, the story and the people behind the music is every bit as important as the music itself. I don't see how an AI can capture this.

you should really consider trying things that don't exactly fit your ideals. Listen to music you don't think you'll like, or watch a movie that you've never heard of. You find threads that you do like and learn to understand the parts you don't. Discomfort and friction is how we grow as people, it's how we gain perspective, and how our interests evolve.

Otherwise, if you're going to keep consuming the exact slop content that you're looking for, you're going to stagnate as a person.

He's bragging about that, even. It's really grim.
