🧵 AI-generated soul music by "Eddie Dalton" is taking over iTunes, YouTube, and Spotify--raising the question of where humans think beauty and art lives.

Software-made music has gotten so good now that 97 percent of people cannot differentiate it from human-made music.

@mattsheffield I'll listen someday but not today. I'm totally a ludite since Sam Altman brought LLMs into the world. He has robbed us of our way to distinguish reality from fantasy. He has created one of the worst tools of oppression. At least he gave us the original code so an open version can exist, but robbing us from the sense of what's real and what's not is something I can't get over yet. It's a new world but I can't see the upsides or this technology yet.

@sqfuentes Unfortunately, being able to distinguish truth and fiction was gone for decades in many countries because of religious extremism. Trump and his international imitators are symptoms, not causes.
