[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 7965845, member: 19675"] In that BBC clip- which I found out is having playback issues- at least one of the artists featured saw the AI as actually pushing her to create things she normally wouldn’t. So, in a sense, it IS an unpaid assistant...or more accurately, an unpaid collaborator for her. While true from a philosophical standpoint, that’s not how a huge section of humanity actually consume/engage with art in the real world. As a practical matter, they only care if it is enjoyable for them to perceive. All they need is the surface, the deeper, more cerebral level of engagement is superfluous to them. My paternal grandfather was one of those- the man had a PhD in education and changed lives, but made no distinction between the work of the old masters and things he could buy for under $50. Spend any time talking to musicians, and you’ll find the same dynamic as they push back against the assertion some people make that recordings with mass appeal (going multiple platinum) are somehow objectively better than recordings that fail to sell even 100k copies. $$$ has nothing to do with the inherent value of music, they correctly insist, but that is nonetheless how some feel.
