SAW was the first step on a journey to the creatively bankrupt destination we arrived at.
A place where pop music is bland, soulless and dripping with “universal, mass appeal”. It removed almost all of the artistic endeavour and replaced it with commercial interest. I fear that the introduction of AI will be the next step on that journey and the next stop will be even worse, potentially stripping us both artistic endeavour and ability.

I actually think that video actually makes a very good point regarding the legality of something. Posting something online does not immediately mean that it is free for people to copy and use for commercial purposes but assuming he is right about how AI makers operating, that is essentially what the AIs are doing. They’re “looking” at the picture and then using parts of the image to create new ones. You or I would not be allowed to do that without paying royalties and seeking permission – copyright statements generally state that something cannot be reproduced in whole or in part. I thought it was quite interesting to hear a different perspective on the topic
