Please, would people start checking themselves. That or you better be at my bands next performance in the Starbucks parking lot by the mall. You say you love the art form but literal artist dying on the vine since the day I was born.

And if you dont care enough to support little Geoffrey's funkadelic phase with his keyboard in the basement you don't care about this.

I hope you fucking down vote me and get your ass out to the next music and arts festival but god knows you will only participate in the former.

    welcome to a niche, I guess. I'm a part of quite a few of those. Turns out my wallet isn't big enough to carry an industry. or my rent. Sorry bro.

    Maybe in another timeline I'm a super rich dude and I can single-handedly support independent art financially.

    Music is not a niche and I wouldnt put the industry on your back.

    I grew up when MTV played music videos. If you dont understand that you dont understand where im coming from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8r-tXRLazs

    There's other art than music. And genres within music. I wouldn't call myself a "music guy" but I do support other forms of art.

    And weird random computer generated music.

    If youre arguing for diversity then you shouldn't mind AI music.

    If youre arguing for art to be restricted to human creators you should indiscriminately support it through government programs, local initiatives, and places of learning. Otherwise no one is incentivtized to do it.

    well we come full circle back to the main topic and hit the paradox of tolerance. Someone trying to claim "Spotify, Apple Music, and Streaming in general is over" is not someone trying to embrace diversity and carve out a new road to potentially explore. They are stating an intent to conquer and extinguish.

    I don't have a problem with the concept of AI music, but I do with the kinds of people it seems to attract. So yeah, I can't really support someone who simply sees art as an algorithm to "solve" and dismisses human made music as "obsolete".

    you should indiscriminately support it through government programs, local initiatives, and places of learning.

    I do. But it's not like I fund all art equally. I play a lot more video games than I listen t soundtracks, and I watch a lot more animation than I do plays. Art is diverse and you pick and choose what to consume or make for yourself.

    That's all I was saying when I said "I wouldn't call myself a music guy"

    Circling back to the post, the first person sounds like a child. AI doesnt exist without real creators and people still listen to gregorian chant.

    I take it the author is done with using other music services but either way its naivety.

    Eitherway the response is equally pig headed. "No one wants personalized music?" I dont even know what it is but to learn i dont even want it before finding out is pretty surprising.

    No tech bro has tried to sell me ai art. No tech bro is knocking on my door asking me to buy AI music. Will capitalists try? Probably. Will I be just as disgusted by every other capitalist venture. Probably. Will I roll in the slop like the consumer slut that I am. Again, yes. Then there will be the shame and depression but no where along the way does either of these peoples opinions matter to me.
