I was kind of trying to become an author, in my case a writer, and I spent a lot of time perfecting my style and polishing my chapters, and studying the novels I read to write well and interestingly. But a month ago I finally gave up when, after studying the material and asking other people, I realized that I had no chance.
And if there is a chance, then for a year or several to become the author of AI, and I did not want to stoop to such a level, for me it is the greatest shame and insult. Alas, soon there will be much more real art in the comments than in these generated empty shells.
Yeah, I’m damn offended, and yeah, I think I’ve made a post like this before, but now I just want to have a heart-to-heart talk, and now I’m damn hurt, and I keep writing, and I don’t even know why, but I feel like I have to.
Yes, unfortunately, in addition, I am not a native English speaker, so this post may read strangely or stupidly, alas, but I apologize.
It was actually the rise of spotify and enclosure of the music listening commons that killed my desire to record and produce music.
AI feels like the boring next step from the Spotify CEO saying musicians shouldn’t expect to be able to make a living making and recording music. It is all part of the same movement to train people to see creativity done by humans as inherently valueless and amateur so that profitable simulcrums of human creativity can take center stage that parasitically feed on unpaid artistic human labor. I don’t hate music streaming services, I hate the axiomatic assumption in my society that progress can only ever be a process of increasing austerity for artists in order to fund increasing profit for the ownership class that steals the labor of artists.
Art is a product of a corporation in the context of a market to be evaluated by how well it attracts attention, entirely human made art is just a silly thing you occasionally do on the side as a gesture to someone you know like a handwritten note that is novel and fun precisely because it is a vanishingly rare thing. This is the suffocating environment being forced on human artists.
Quboz is a great alternative, high def music large catalogue and they pay the artists at least 4 x the amount per stream.
Yes, until this alternative is sold to major players. Although I’m not exactly sure…
Yes, this is a real classic, I think the joke here is perfect: an influential nobleman takes away the last food from a poor peasant, only in our time with a smile and justification of progress.
