tbf, a lot of pop and generic stuff is incredibly soulless and it was made by people. One silver lining is that hopefully the artistic part will be more embraced in music because the driving force for a lot of it is money and not art. Not defending AI in any way though, fuck that bullshit to hell.
I hate that AI is controlled by a few huge corporations and that it consumes ungodly amounts of resources. Otherwise I'd be completely fine with it. At least 90% of anything is shit anyway and everything humans create is built on what came before, so I think AI just mimics what we've been doing since forever. But as it is controlled by just a few assholes who burn the planet down even faster I am against it.
People have free will and while most people don't bother using it, a few in each generation think differently. Those are people like Einstein, Picasso, Hypatia, Curie, Yeshua, Tolkein, Wachowski, Ray. They bring genuinely new ideas into the space of human thought. If AI writes all the books, we don't get any more Voltaires. If AI makes all the movies, we don't get any more del Toros. If AI writes all the songs, we don't get any more Hendrixes.
We get Hendrix copycats, sure. But nobody is going to change the game the way all the people I listed changed the game.
That is never going to happen.
You can compare it to making clay pots.
We have mastered the art of making pots, we have entire factories that do nothing but make the most beautiful pots in all manner of shapes, sizes and colors. Millions of them each day. Nobody in the rest of human existence should ever need to make a clay pot by hand ever again.
Yet we still do.
Because art is something human. It makes us who we are. It is fun to express oneself. And no amount of automatization will ever take that away. We can be living in space and there will still be people making clay pots.
