First one that comes to mind, but I'm sure there are more.

Could this be made without AI? Yes, of course it could. But it would require a HUGE budget, and an entire studio dedicated to it.

Is the creator hiding the fact it was AI gen? No, of course not. Would I prefer it be created with studio quality and real actors with real props? Absolutely I would. But absent that, this is still a really cool project.

Got it. So not literally impossible.

So is the argument that restricting people's creativity to only be expressed if you have the finances to do so, a good thing?

Because it is indeed literally impossible for the average person to create this without that technology.

Holy strawman, Batman.

Oh, we’ve also moved the goal posts I see.

I simply asked for a single example of something impossible to create without AI, which you have failed to provide.

You instead redefined “impossible”. Or, at least, added a bunch of qualifying words around it.

The average person can’t make a photorealistic painting. Is that “literally impossible” as well?

it's literally impossible for the average person to become an expert at my instrument (for three more months) because my instrument costs like six figures. i have literally met three people my entire life with one, and they don't specialize in it the way i do.

i'm publishing the plans for an effective practice instrument that costs $300 in about three months.

i don't plan on charging, because people are going to get so good at my instrument. i'm currently one of the best in the world but they'll be able to blow me out of the water in five years with good practice. I'm so excited to see what people will be able to do.

expensive. i'll be publishing under my stage name, and it will be absolutely not newsworthy

Only things I can think of are giant pipe organs or concert harps. But both already have ways to practice for a lot cheaper than the real deal.

Why not just say the instrument name? A random buried comment on Lemmy shouldn't spoil anything.

I've kind of lost my mind on here a couple times and I don't want to associate that with my music career. I was a real asshole.

But you're not far off. We play with organ and harp a lot. Most of our music is sacred. I'm putting together a group where I aim to change that

I'm not sure if this is a metaphor, or genuine. But if it's genuine I'm very curious to know what this instrument is!

If it's a metaphor, I think it's a good one. We build, design, draw, and create, with the hope that we make the world a better place in some small way. The person that invented the abacus did so, because they wanted to do mathematics easier. Should those have come before been offended that their years and years of doing math on their fingers was now being stolen and simplified?

This is the march of progress. And it fucking SUCKS that people are being hurt by it. I fully advocate for universal basic income, free education, and fully funded career transitions, because technology will never slow down, and people need to feel comfortable in order to embrace it.

nope, no metaphor. one of the guys i played with in school is teaching nearby, and his school has one of my instruments. technically he has my old instrument i used like 20 years ago and i don't know how he got it, but that's a longer conversation he and i need to have. so i'm trying to build them a practice instrument or two (also me one) so they can start churning out world class musicians.
