Not all of them. I’ve got three school aged kids, one plays guitar and saxophone, one plays clarinet and trumpet, one is just starting the trombone.

If anything, I am seeing the kids push back against this shit. My kids have an ear for and hate ai produced music; they get so angry about “clanker music”. They really value being able to make their own, and I love the constant noise of real instruments being practiced in my house.

Lots don’t care, but there are still many pockets of kids who hate all this as much as we do, and are pursuing a more analog lifestyle.

This is the one underlying factor that has killed any respect I used to have for my country's copyright laws. Ideally I would want the creative talent to get ownership of their work and all the legal protection that would entitle them to, but we're already seeing how the laws are being flaunted for the sake of these AI chuds openly practicing the sort of "piracy" that people who are only sharing their files with no real profit incentives take the heat for

My boss constantly says, "Use AI," and after a whole day of prompting I have a large body of work that basically isn't mine and I receive zero satisfaction from it.

I feel like the more I use AI at work, the more I feel like it's replacing the things I actually enjoy doing, leaving me with the leftovers.

That's "zero or negative value algorithmic sludge." Nobody wants to pay for it, often having it around devalues the experience, the platform you're trying to sell it through and devalues all other products on that platform. There is some small minority able to squeeze money out of this I guess so they keep doing it.

This but he’s just staring at the phone in his hand which are the same ads, but mobile friendly!

AI summaries of videos are already a feature on Youtube so you don‘t miss or even watch anything!

Stranger Things Season Five is the most blatant example of this. It’s absurd.

Yeah, no one is going to go out of their way to buy an album by suno. No one is going to buy tickets to see two server racks on stage. Just sitting there with AI hallucinations flickering on a screen behind them. Even if I happen to find some of the sounds they produce appealing.

Every time I discover a seemingly new artist with an intriguing sound. The moment I find out that it's some dumbasses "solo" project realized through AI. They're blacklisted forever. Go download a DAW and at least put in the basic effort.

Anything generated, no matter how appealing it might seem in the moment. Is ultimately disposable trash. If it wasn't authored and crafted with deep intentionality by someone you might identity or connect with. It won't last and no one will care about it. People don't listen to groups like joy division just for the sound of it. But because of the explicit creativity and brutal emotion. 50 years on and they are still relevant at least to other artists. Could even the same be said of Britney Spears, who hasn't been around as long and is still alive where Ian is long dead? What chance does a parroting simulacrum have?

Yeah, I'd wager many of the people losing the jobs over this weren't producing much of value in the first place.

That’s exactly what I foresee. I hope us taxpayers tell them to kick rocks because they were the dope that used that brain rot tool.

Sometimes if you want to work you have to put up with some (unjustified) shit. It's been this way for 50 years or probably even longer.

I know, my fetish of good plot had me almost ousted from the family...
