AI generated music, AI generated blogs etc, is really a stupid idea. Maybe some people want it, but I really don't. I really don't care if the music is great (it's not, I'm a musician). I really don't care if the writing is great or the content is great. Its like being kosher. Some people choose to not eat non kosher food. I choose not to consume AI generated materials. What if AI cures cancer? Sure, let it cure canc…

I agree with you. Art needs "soul" and using AI generated "art" lacks it. As we are all aware LLMs aren't true intelligence and iff we ever create something like Data from Start Trek than I'd be interested in that "person"'s art. Right now LLM generated are is just highly mutated copies of what exists. I have no interest in consuming it.

Agreed. Nothing is more soulful than the last 30 years of top 40 pop. We must do everything we can to preserve this sublime artform.

But why do I have be prohibited from it just because you have an unintelligible feeling it's bad somehow?

They didn't say you would be.

Just label it, so those that want it can seek it out.

Having a music charts that doesn't include AI generated music does not stop AI generated music.

> Its like being kosher. Some people choose to not eat non kosher food. I choose not to consume AI generated materials. This is great analogy when you consider the sheer deliciousness of pork and shellfish.

And some people like eating horse.

1. Its the people who worship Rihanna and Guy Sebastian is the problem. If you don't like those people, don't need to buy their stuffs. I am a musician but I, never in my life, have any idols whatsoever. I don't buy their stuffs. I create my own. One wonder how can the entertainment industry survives anyway if everyone is like me. But thankfully not everyone is like me, the world goes around. 2. You can support local…

> I am a musician but I, never in my life, have any idols whatsoever. Let's hear this music then.... What's the guessing it's not very good.

Well, you'll be surprised. I am probably better than you. Taste is relative after all.

Really? My mom doesn't eat raw sushi or shellfish and pork, she is not Jewish or Islam. She doesn't think those tastes that good.

The only point I would disagree is that I do find LLM's to be useful. I am only "forced" to use them as a matter of staying economically competitive against my competition, but I do find it like having a second opinion or a way to force myself to express my thoughts. And, finally, it's good that someone (something) actually reads the specifications that I work really hard to produce ;)

I do find it useful, but if I have a choice, I don't need to.

I find cars useful, but I don't have a car.

Guns are useful too in certain context, I don't have a gun thankfully because I don't need to.

It would be great to exclude the top 40 from the charts as well. Just call #41 #1. /s
