Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

There was (and still somewhat is) a big uproar about auto tune usage in music. But guess what? You haven't heard a song NOT using it since at least 1998. Unless youre friends with every sound engineer out there and can ask them specifically if an artist did or did not use it (unrealistic).

The same will happen with ai. People wont notice, and it will go on to be the norm, with a very small pocket of purists.

ITT: People are really butthurt that their favorite artist uses autotune/pitch correction, and they have no idea how mixing and production work. These will be the same people listening to ai music in 5 years with no knowledge of it. So my prediction is correct.

I already commented yesterday. Now I read your replies. I must say, you really do not have the whole picture here and you should stop arguing this theory right now. Esp. this part:

You haven’t heard a song NOT using it since at least 1998.

Maybe try bandcamp.com to listen to the rest of the world (and realize how big it is).

I love bandcamp, use it daily!

Yeah people arent really understanding how prolific autotune/pitch correction is. They think their niche bands arent using it. Well sorry to say, they are. You just have no idea. I work with producers and engineers and have done it myself, and ive seen how its used.

Was just showing how the same comparison will be used with ai tools in a few years, and people will be having this exact same argument over the fact that "hey, its fine that band actually used ai for all their drums because their drummer is bad!" There truly is nothing new under the sun :)

You have changed your tune from

You haven’t heard a song NOT using it since at least 1998.

to something much weaker.

I stand by my original statement: That's bullshit.
