Don’t even get me started on AI, Ian Christe. Fuckin AI. I’m an artist (brushes, ink, paint), AND a writer and editor. So I’ve been watching AI come for all my jobs over the past couple years. Now I get Editor job offers up the ass to help AI become better at writing like humans – but I can’t found a job editing human writing to save my life anymore. I DONT WANNA HELP AI get better, it can kiss my ass! So I guess I can go flip burgers now.
So I havent heard this episode yet, but looking forward to it.
Even the AI animation promos I see online for metal shows really bother me – e.g., animated demon exploding onstage into a tornado of guitars, in front of audience of thousands (for a tiny club that’s lucky if it gets 100 people) and blasting epic death metal that the promoted tribute band doesnt even play…. Shit that right there sets up some ridiculous expectations for a live show that will just have humans on stage, no demons, and playing their own (or trib) music live and imperfectly like humans do.
But also I think LIVE MUSIC is a big factor for the metal audience. Even if AI manages to write any decent songs, there’s no live component – unless they plan to put an AI band projection on stage? Oh gods plz let me die before we get to that! (I know, Whitney Houston and MJ are in Vegas, but at least that’s a trib to the deceased).
So yeah I can see metal being the final frontier for music – becuz I’m skeptical as to whether the real hardcorps metalheads will tolerate that fake bullshit. We famously don’t care for bullshit. AI is automated plagiarization in general – – in relation to music, it is what we thrashheads have always called humans trying to fake their way into our church with their bullshit: POSERS! Yeah fuck that AI shit
