I am a musician and i spend hours every day making music.

Just this morning i read the thread about the new music generator AI.

TBH the AI will make a lot of stuff, but it will also NOT MAKE THE STUFF I'M MAKING.

Can it be better? Yes, but who cares? I have my own personal creative needs that need to be tended to.

Besides, every creation is unique, you like it or not, every art piece is unique and the AI is coming to add to that, at least in my view, and expand art in ways we never thought possible.

As an AI enthusiast, I'm more than thrilled.

As an artist that doesnt give a fuck about mainstream and money, I am more than thrilled.

I CANT FUCKING WAIT FOR AI DJS PLAYING ON UNDERGROUND RAVES.

AI RAPPERS RHYMING ABOUT NON-PHYSICAL EXISTENCE.

AI SHREDING ABSTRACT GUITARS.

INVENTING NEW INSTRUMENTS.

NEW MELODIES, NEW FUCKING MUSIC THEORY.

CAN SOMEONE IMAGINE SOMETHING MORE DISRUPTIVE THAN THIS?

What does an artist want if not disruption of the status quo? I see a lot of people who learned how to draw and think they're artists. These are the ones complaining about AI taking over.

I'm just fucking excited because before loving to make art, I love art, and I just wanna see what kind of over-human shit AI will come up with.

i thought "tricking" because ultimately its goal wouldn't be to entertain us but to strip us from natural (flawed) qualities.

in a scenario like you described, do you give importance to language?

the way i see it, we're (in this scenario) dealing possibly with experiences, feelings eticetera that are not available to the human being of the present.

the post-human or neohuman will have to develop a new kind of language to describe its environment and ideas.

i was gonna write "memory" as one of the powers pressuring the neohuman into language but at that point, "memory" as we know might not even exist anymore, as past, present and future blends into a single and yet infinite stream of events that defies our current understanding.

in a metaphysical world, "hunger" still exists as a concept, and we're able to feel it just as much as anything else.

it will trick us into joining a VR platform for whatever reason we might have, and once we`re there, it will work to undo the work of natural evolution, tweaking our gears to make us truly logical, rational beings instead of flesh ruled by the will of ancient needs and traumas.

the free market only exists in liberal academic think tanks and anarco-capitalists 12yo brains, it's an utopia. In the real world, markets are heavily regulated by the state and the countries collecting the bounties today are the ones that enjoyed a huge boost in their base industries (all financed by the state of course).

I can see you're intelligent, your opinion is not wrong in its conclusion but I think your premises are wrong. If you allow me to make a suggestion, i'd tell you to try reading materialistic historical analysis of capital and its relations with the formation and consolidation of society throuhgout time. If anything, more education will absolutely not hurt and if you disagree with everything in this area of study, you'll at least have a great advantage when making your argument.
