Graeme 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

@davidgerard ah my favorite artist, Shitty Plaid Kontent

Slop Pain (Kool!)

Swiftly Pantsless Krud

@jwz oh yeah, i got the press release yesterday and went "you know who i am and you send me this"

@davidgerard @jwz

"David runs an AI blog, I presume he's an AI fan, I haven't got time to check right now"

@pikesley @jwz i mean i know the promo guy, he's a top chap, and it's not *off* topic either as music or AI, but

@davidgerard "no such thing as bad publicity!"
@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

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! 🤣

That’s really disappointing to hear 😔
