RE: AI slop and the death of Art

AI text, images, and music all fall deep into the uncanny valley, but the tech bro types are flocking to it as the Next Big Thing while tech companies are building a bubble around the industry. I've seen so many ads for AI logo creation, AI content creation, and more. It disgusts me to see it used as a substitute for creativity instead of a tool to support creativity. I once wrote a short song parody in a comment as a reply to another post, and the author used an AI music generator to convert it into a quck-and-dirty rock-and-roll track, and I thought that was funny. A real band could do it better, but it was a fast proof-of-concept, not something pretending to be the finished item to be commercialized. I have a lot of complaints about the emptiness of modern commercial pop music, but behind the formulaic lyrics and over-produced audio, there are still real people. I want to see technology support more independent creators, though, not turn everything into generic robot muzak.
