Pixels and Pirates

They're an AI artist (derogatory)

OoT for a third time YIPPEE

I know it's kinda wild to say this on Tumblr of all places but like thank fucking goodness I don't really engage with communities surrounding media I like

I want my cat to be happy thus I am mentally compelled to tend to their every desire

On one hand it kinda sucks seeing people I grew up watching and learning from like Hank Green and John Green be so constantly stressed about the increasing shift towards anti-intellectualism and disdain for truth but at the same time it makes me happy to know someone I looked up to as a kid isn't a total piece of shit and is actually an empathetic human being.

"Despite Everything, it's still you." Is such a powerful phrase of emotional reinforcement both for the self and for others but nobody on the internet will ever take it seriously because it comes from fucking Undertale

Part of what makes AI "music" such a fucking scourge is that it appeals to the lowest of lowest common denominators, people who just like how it sounds, people who don't value music and it's intent or message, people who don't want to be able to pick apart what they're listening to because when you pick apart AI music you find it's just noise without meaning. For every person who uses AI to generate "music" with some semblance of an idea in their head there are far more who generate it without a clear intent, who want surface level genreslop that appeals to the masses, gets lots of views, and possibly suckers in a few dollars.
