[STARFACE] Pitchfork Review 9

The sad truth is that the pop music industry is embracing AI with open arms for much the same reason that various industries tied to economics saw the potential for cheap labor. Session musicians and composers cost money. They need to eat and drink. They need breaks, to go outside, to smoke cigarettes while checking Instagram on their phones. They will demand money for their work, and might even bring managers to demand a better revenue share for their labor. AI does not. And if the musical output actually created (by humans) is bad, the pop music industry will only worry about AI-generated music when its output is clearly worse than what humans create, meaning, when it's less profitable, and this cycle will repeat until the ratio of AI to humans maximizes profitability. - Pitchfork Sigh... I feel something like that. It's a good thing the album made with AI was a flop, because if it had been a masterpiece, art itself would have been taken over by AI... I really wish we could go back to a time before AI.
