Nothing I make, visual or sonic, uses generative AI/LLMs. All mistakes, all choices, all that awful racket, for better or worse, is me.
Creativity is and should always be a human endeavour.
I'm not interested in debating or discussing further, thanks.

LONELY WATER (1973): Legendary child-frightener, and one of the most influential and effective PIFs ever made. Donald Pleasence's voice helped lower the number of child deaths by drowning and opened the door to the scary, deadly PIFs of the 70s & 80s. A folk horror film condensed into 90 seconds.

That last line is one of the absolute single scariest things to me and that it was said with such casual happiness is even more disturbing.
Not distressing.
Full tilt disturbing.

As someone whose music felt very awkward under the broader dungeon synth banner, I appreciate artists forging a different, more nuanced path.
