    I’ve been noticing a ton of thosebon YouTube. Especially for goth music. I don’t mind if they use AI for images as not all independent bands have money to produce a video. However, using it to make the song is pretty vile. Especially because the lyrics are trite to the point of screaming.

      Honestly, I don’t have a problem with trite lyrics. Some of my most favourite songs are pretty trite. I’ve long desired to be a songwriter, but the reason I haven’t is because I don’t think I could accept putting out anything trite. The difference is, that no matter how trite the actual words or meaning are, lyrics produced by actual human artists have a rhythm and flow that can’t be matched by machinery, or even cynical human music industry producers.

        Agreed. The triteness of a song is what gives it away for me. For example, if a goth song keeps hammering out about vampires and cemeteries I skip right over it and assume it’s AI. Real lyrics are a lot more nuanced.
