Это сообщение выражает разочарование по поводу использования **ИИ-сгенерированных арт-проекций** на шоу Девина Таунсенда в рамках его проекта **#TheMoth**. Автор поста считает, что эти изображения были **неестественными** и **отвлекающими**, даже если не принимать во внимание этические вопросы, связанные с использованием ИИ в искусстве. Автор также выражает сожаление, что из-за этого внимания к визуальной стороне шоу ему трудно сосредоточиться на **музыке**, которая является основной частью проекта, над которым Таунсенд работал целых **десять лет**.
Основная мысль: технологии, даже если они не нарушают закон, могут отвлекать от основной цели, и в данном случае это мешает полноценно воспринимать музыку.
I have to say, I am really disappointed Devin Townsend's #TheMoth featured AI-generated art projections. They were uncanny and distracting at best even if you look past the ethics of it. And now it's occupying my mind and distracting me from talking about the actual music of his 10 years in the making project...
I am become HYPE!

Sometimes the planets align.
Yesterday I saw Devin Townsend, my favourite musician.
Performing his show The Moth. I am an moth and butterfly enthusiast.
Yesterday was my birthday.
Best. Birthday. EVER.

There was the band itself, there was a choir, there was an orchestra and a conducter. And screens with stunning, sometimes very frightening or scary images.
Everyone one stage was on point, along with the visuals.

I went with my best friend, I met friends from Germany, made new friends from well, all over the world.. The vibes were just (although I don't like the word) 'wholesome'.
What an unique event.

And as a bonus, the drummer handed me personally his drum stick.
And as a SUPER bonus, I had little chat with Devin.
James (from UK) stood next to me and shouted; "DEVIN! IT'S HIS BIRTHDAY!"
That got Dev's attention;
"Is it your birthday?!"

Me; "Yeah, just like 10 years ago! In Eindhoven when you sang 'happy birthday' with the DTP!"

Dev; "I remember! I never forgot a /your beard!".
And we chatted a bit about the show (The Moth). It had a huge impact on me and I told him I was crying during the first 10 minutes. "So did I", he replied.

Last few months were very stressful, due to personal stuff. I felt so grateful for the whole day, meeting friends, talking to people, people who said 'happy birthday'. So all sorts of emotions, but overall very, very thankful 💖
