Memories painted
in shadow on stone
on the retina of time
as a vision of the past
close to heart
faded by age
and a distant whisper saying:
You were here, once,
as was I.

On my other account over at indiepop.band I just now replied to a post with the following:

“AI is always merely mimicking, imitating, trying to resemble something.”

The original post links to an article which in turn links to a study saying that “60% of musicians are already using AI in their productions (59.5%, to be precise). Of the 1,299 independent artists surveyed, 11% admitted to using it for songwriting, 20.3% said they’ve used it during the production process, and 30.6% confirmed that they’ve used it for mastering. 38%, meanwhile, have called on artificial intelligence to create their music’s artwork.”

I feel like I’m on a very, very futile path with my warnings about AI, and yet I will continue walking it.

AI is not good and will do a lot of harm. Yes, any AI.

“Everything is moving in the direction of what you might call snippet culture: a world in which all entertainment has a snack-sized version meant for idly consuming on the subway.”

“After all, the Spotify redesign is one more nail in the coffin of the album. More importantly, it’s another shift toward a world in which ‘content’ is dictated by algorithm.”

“(…) we cobble together experiences rather than engaging with things that have been deliberately, even thoughtfully, put together.”

@meanwell posted this excellent article from The Star: https://www.thestar.com/business/opinion/2023/03/11/spotifys-snippet-culture-redesign-just-another-algorithmic-brick-in-the-wall-of-joyful-discovery.html

The text also quotes a tweet by columnist Kyle Chayka, “Algorithmic feeds have pushed content creators to conform to the acceptable esthetic and cultural average; A.I. generation will just automatically produce that average from the start.” (https://twitter.com/chaykak/status/1620891495502057472)

I will now try to establish two new hashtags to comment on the ongoing threat that music and the arts are facing: #TheReignOfTheAlgorithm #ArtUnderDigitalFire

Similar to what DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, or Midjourney do with visual art (simulating a creative process following a text prompt), MusicLM by Google has now set out to destroy music.

Artists, I want to see you paint on real canvas, draw on real paper. Musicians, I want to hear you play real instruments and sing with your real voices. Writers, I want to read your true words.

“We come to bury ChatGPT, not to praise it.”

Couldn’t agree more with this text by @danmcquillan I found through a boost in my timeline. Nodding fervently at sentences like, “ChatGPT is, in technical terms, a ‘bullshit generator’.” Or, later on, “(…) the social benefits are still speculative while the harms have been empirically demonstrated.”

@TashPoetry

IMHO this is a bit shortsighted. Exactly your “faulty code” is what makes you uniquely creative; AI is just parroting. But, and there’s where I see the problem, people get used to un-creative AI-produced “art”. That, in turn, changes perception. You can now see that happening with vocals in (pop) music; with the rise of Auto-Tune, people started perceiving non-processed vocals as “wrong”. Now, almost all vocals are “corrected”, even live.

#AINotArt

I will re-toot something from Twitter user SJ Sindu here that @LynRandle tooted already, but as a screenshot without ALT text (which I don’t boost), so — here goes:

“We don’t need AI to make art. We need AI to write emails and clean the house and deliver the groceries so humans can make more art.”

Couldn’t agree more.

Auto-Tune kills music — especially vocal performance.

@krig tooted a video by Chris Liepe who strongly criticises the use of the pitch-correction algorithm Auto-Tune on Freddy Mercury’s vocals in the new Queen single “Face it Alone” — and rightfully so.

I re-toot this to get rid of the YouTube link and the associated spying and replace it with the puffyan.us proxy:

This is so great, as it explains very well how I feel about AI, both in visual arts and music, and also on any other level and means of communication. Thank you!

Acabo de lograr armar mi mezla con stable diffusion, dos referencias para crear una imagen

IA no es arte, programar no es arte, pero mira qué buen resultado

Let me add this: #AInotArt

This is what young girls will now want to look like — sure to be disappointed; this degree of perfection is unattainable (and not desireable!) for humans. But they will still try. Young psyches destroyed.

Of course it’s all about consumption; shopping, “enjoying life”, travelling — cementing a lifestyle that’s destructive to our environment and extremely colonialist.

#AInotArt #AIisDangerous #AvoidAI #RejectAI #IgnoreAI

AI Art not only dehumanizes us, but misses the entire point of art itself- to communicate one human person's experience to another.

The main issue is still that AI art generators do not reference nor act based on inspiration from existing work.

It compiles an image based on a database of work, accumulated without regulation in terms of ownership rights of the source material.

Support human artists. Not the robots who use our art without any consent.
