David GerardGraeme Revell recording as SPK has a new album! And it's proudly AI slop
gen-AI video, gen-AI art, gen-AI music
"AI is simply the contemporary coal face" of slop
anyway do not get SPKtr, it's a slop record

jwz@jwz oh yeah, i got the press release yesterday and went "you know who i am and you send me this"
Clueless by Sam"David runs an AI blog, I presume he's an AI fan, I haven't got time to check right now"
Charlie Stross@davidgerard @pikesley @jwz This (see alt text) is the nearest thing I've found to a legitimate use for LLMs in my fiction. And I emphasize, this is part of the fiction, not the front matter:
Luka Rubinjoni@pikesley @davidgerard @jwz Maybe it's even worse: they prompted a LLM, and got a spineless wall of slop with a list of contacts they just copy/pasted.
Matt Palmer@davidgerard "no such thing as bad publicity!"
bunnyhero@davidgerard oh noooooooooooo
dj2mn@davidgerard I asked him about his use of genAI when I met him at that German festival we played at last year. I wasn’t all that happy with his answer. (May have mentioned when I met you the week after? ;) Aside from that though he seemed like a decent chap with a righteous anger at evils in the world that I can’t dispute.
@dj2mn yeah you weren't gonna change his mind
acb@davidgerard sounds like he’s found his own solution to @lardmotel’s Kelloggs Problem: https://mastodon.sdf.org/@lardmotel/116258450900799972

As you progress in your music career you will find yourself becoming Kelloggs. You might keep coming up with new breakfast ideas, but all they want is corn flakes. (File under why I don’t make albums or tour any more). #music #cereal

@davidgerard they don’t have a new album.
They appropriated it from the machines! 🤣
Kapitän ClownfeuerThat’s really disappointing to hear 😔
