2. The point of art isn't to "contribute". The creation of art is its own purpose. You're making the same critical error as the AI bros. You sound jaded to the point of forgetting why people play/listen to music.

1. Most protest music is music that has been adopted for use of protest; you can't generalize it like that. For experimental music, literally anybody can make it, idk what you're talking about.

Where do you think experimental music comes from? If people don't have preferences, why does genre speciation happen? What about the long history of protest music? What is the social pressure to buy a film or game OST? As a musician, I am begging you to shut the fuck up.

In any given friend group, it is normal for people to have different preferences. I am into hard, prog, and post rock. A close friend is into hip-hop. Another is into EDM. Another is a metalhead. My girlfriend is crazy about musicals. I think you might just be misanthropic on the matter.

No, you are just making weird assumptions about people. Many people are not adventurous about their music taste, but it’s not about the "dominant social group", it's that one's taste doesn't dramatically change much in adults.

...What are you talking about? People like music. When people pay attention to music it's usually because they like it. This is stupid. Why do I need to explain this?

It reminds me of the NFT guys (who widely overlap with AI guys anyway) who were like "what if you could own stuff you earned in a video game" and like...what? Nobody plays games for profit. Even streamers are primarily *entertainers* who use games as a performance vector. The playing isn't the work.

I remember seeing someone promoting genAI music who literally said "nobody actually likes making music". They literally cannot comprehend the joy of creation. Sad and pathetic.

Yes, prisons should be abolished. Yes, people should be judged by their actions, especially those which have harmed others. Those are not contradictory. There is no logical reason to find these incompatible.

People can communicate incredibly abstract concepts, experiences, emotions etc. That this tool is seemingly beyond description suggests it is incomparable with anything in human experience or is unmoored from any specific utility or has robbed its users of the wherewithal to complete such a task

The fact that you cannot give an actual answer is kind of damning. Any normal tool has functions which are discrete and easy to explain. The fact that AI doesn't follow this pattern is because it's being shoehorned into everything. It's not defined by its functionality bit its profitability.

I disagree your claim, but also: why do I have to know about the specifics to have an opinion about it? These systems are artificially cheap and energy intensive, making them inefficient. They're astroturfed by private capital. They work off of nonattributed material. Isn't that enough to hate it?

Comic panel in a Korean manhwa style, depicting a woman with short black hair in a black and white pinstripe outfit aggressively opens a door with a serious look on her face. There are non-diegetic blood splatters on the panel. At the bottom of the panel is a thought bubbles which reads: "It's my period!!!"

What annoys me the most is that they will literally argue that attractiveness is objective. That if you say "actually, I don't think she's unattractive," they'll call you a liar. I get that to some degree they know they're full of shit, but they even argue against the idea of differing tastes lol

I mean, your point was "I don't like the idea of men being held accountable," so yeah. Perhaps the problem is not women pointing out how rape happens. Perhaps the problem is rape. Perhaps you are a whiny fragile shithead who should ask himself why he's upset at women standing up for themselves.

It is not generalizing to point out that rape is frequent and is usually a man raping a woman. This is just a fact. The problem is that when women talk about the perils of living in a rape culture, guys like you start whining. Women's right to be free of rape is more important than men's feelings.
