This is why when you ask a Gen Z kid who their favorite musician/bands/group is they never really have an answer. Not bagging on them, I just think they are missing out on something magic. We had to invest time and effort into finding our music. You didn’t pay a flat streaming fee for everything. Your $20 went to ONE thing. It had to be good. Maybe you spent 4 hours in Tower Records listening to all the releases. Or maybe you had been looking forward to a release for months. It was just different.

Now the “record stores” where I live are just head shops that also sell CD’s and shit. Grab a used vinyl or some synthetic pee. Whatever you may fancy

I’m not on a quest to figure out animal brains. The relationship is for me. Science has proven it’s good for me. My dog will eat his shit if I don’t stop him. I realize how his brain works. If you’re suggesting dogs don’t love that’s BS but Thanks for the science.

Yay for robots and all that shit, but AI dogs is gonna be a hard sell for a lot of folks for a very long time.

Then what’s all the hullabaloo? You don’t hear people up in arms about automated cooking, cashiering, everything… nobody is defending those workers. But AI in art? Everyone loses out.

What exactly are they beating?

The idea of a living creature loving you because of a relationship you’ve built with them, is a MILLION times more valuable than a machine that mimics love because of its software and upgrades and the premium subscription you have auto debited every month. That sounds really weird actually. Like owning a toy as an adult

Artists and writers think they should be protected from automation. The rest of us have to deal with it as a threat to our livelihood. But they shouldn’t have to because reasons.
