"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

It doesn't matter how good it is. It could be the absolute best possible music ever, both sensorially and technically, and it would still not matter !
Music is a human experience. Without an artist, there is nothing there. AI music can never be better than human music.
I would rather listen to an untalented toddler's first violin lesson on loop for an hour than to 30 seconds of AI slop.
