Hell yeah this is awesome! I've been looking for a good one of these to connect with other musicians. How can I get on the next one?

Also that case in the first Ace Attorney game technically makes it a Christmas game uh-oh I don't make the rules 🤷

Overall, I'm grossed out by and uncomfortable with anybody who wants to use GenAI to make and profit from music, and I firmly believe we need legislation to limit its advancement and usage within the industry. BUT I'd be dishonest if I said I haven't been entertained before by some AI-made stuff

is that they are not being used to pass off as somebody's creation, but rather they're a way to smooth along an often arduous road to project completion. To summarize--

There are other types of non-generative AI tools that can be really helpful in the music production process, which I don't see as menacing because they are limited in scope for what they do. Tools that assist with sound isolation, EQ-ing, pitch correction. I think part of why those don't bother me--

or an experience of life or death itself, thereby making it incapable of creating art or statements of its own. It is IP theft, sometimes basically identity theft, and it is often seen as a cheap way out of paying real musicians, artists, producers, and other workers. Beyond that--

Generative AI is damaging to music and musicians, particularly because of the lack of regulation surrounding it. It is invasive and exploitative to regurgitate someone else's ideas and voice for profit, particularly and especially without consent or knowledge. GenAI is incapable of having opinions--

I know that just in general they're prettier words that flow better lyrically, so they're easier to sing, it just feels nice to me 🤷
