Same with composers
Actually, they're showing contempt for their readers too.

If I like an author, I want to read their actual words. I don't want to have a bullshit "conversation" with a machine that's rifling their writing back at me in some weird form dictated by some fucking algorithm.

Here's a video of Natalia Osipova in Giselle at the Mariinsky Theatre.

I watched her Royal Ballet performance with Acosta on their streaming service this morning. A subscription is currently half price if you're looking for black friday deals.

On November 26, 1924 the ballet Giselle was revived at the Paris Opéra with Olga Spessivtseva as Giselle. It had faded from the repertoire at that point.

Here is a clip of Spessivtseva. It's interesting to see the changes in 100 years displayed by Osipova, Cojocaru, et al.
