The band Rush just put out a handful of gross and lazy AI-gen music videos. So sick of this trend/degradation

I don’t understand when someone who is creative in one field uses AI to generate something in another field. Like, how would Rush feel if some visual artist used AI to make crummy knock-off Rush songs with their own art?

I feel like I say this a lot, probably because, AI is trying to force itself into my space every day. Anyhow, As a graphic designer_ …

I agree 100% that just because it’s not your expertise doesn’t make it better. I butt up against the need to use music and copy. I don’t write and I can’t compose music. I’m very conscious to not use AI for either, including my day to day when I need to grab stock images.

Regardless how easy it is to do so, their is always something missing. That human touch. I have to explain it more and more and I’m holding to my guns. No AI in the creative spaces, no exceptions.

My biggest take on it, even if someday it does a better job. What are we saying as a society? That we rather give up our creativity and do the menial tasks instead? AI should be handing the boring repetitive tasks, not be the one doing the higher level art, that’s just fucked.

AI, by its very nature, is incapable of capturing the human condition.

No matter how extensive its datasets, this will never change. This is because the human condition is just that, flawed and twisted and emotional, in all the ways humans are, and all the ways programs fundamentally cannot be.

I think there’s also the notion that people won’t invest emotional time for nothing. It has to be part of a larger transaction with a human being. Even if the transaction is extremely lopsided, as in “I love Taylor swift but she doesn’t know I exist”, it still has to have a human recipient.

A good analogy is psychotherapy. 99% of the work is done by the patient, but it just doesn’t work without the other human. The process absolutely requires an ape to meet with another ape for anything to happen. It would work better with an untrained psychologist, than with the best fine tuned “almost-AGI” model. It’s not about performance it’s really existential. The concept of therapy doesn’t do anything for your brain just like the concept of a strawberry doesn’t do anything for your mouth.

Just like the concept of a rock song or a painting doesn’t do anything for your soul.
