RE: https://mastodon.social/@mattsheffield/116332497422486698
this is digital blackface and racist as fuck.
whomever is doing this knows Black people are THE Culture; so how swell it is to make money off Black culture without Black people?
and don't get me started with the fact that automata are proxies for SLAVES.
don't hesitate to call out Alphabet/Google/Youtube for making money off Black digital slaves.
this isn't progress. this is still baldfaced racism.
97% of white ppl
That sounds like the modern equivalent of those "Easy Music" radio stations playing faked-up "orchestral" instrumental covers of popular hits. I wonder if they screwed the original artists like LLM/AI is doing now.
Yep!
"There is also something disturbingly racist about the thing too. The bot is a caricature of a soul artist. Worse in its way than the white, blackfaced minstrels of the early 1900s."

"you people"?
if you don't want me to block you, you better edit that out. am not here for you or anybody to disrespect me like that.
@blogdiva @[email protected] @maniandthenonos
Best case scenario “invector” is a racist stooge using AI to produce his slop, if not a bot entirely.
I’ve already blocked it. You are never going to be making a big mistake by blocking any account that shows up selling “racism isn’t a problem.”
@Invector07 @maniandthenonos @blogdiva
Invector may not have been very tactful but I agree with his point that the issue is having internalized the concept of "race" in humanity as opposed to having a spectrum of melanin concentration and many other spectrums of other variables. Race has become a fixed thing that people defend staunchly.
The real divide between Invector and the other group is one of perspective. Invector is idealist and mistaking the end goal with the struggle to get there.
@Invector07 @maniandthenonos @blogdiva
The struggle on a daily basis is real and needs to be acknowledged but you cant lose the ideal in the process otherwise it becomes a vain battle that keeps going in circles.
This is like the YouTube trend of AI generated black female crafts people it’s just AI slop to sell goods manufactured and Asian sweat shops as handicrafts you know by people who can’t tell that something has been mass produced
"...raising the question of where people think beauty and art lives..."
Beauty and art live in people.
There is no art and beauty in stochastic errorist machines.
Unless it's all the stolen art and beauty that was funnelled into their grinders to make slop.
Soul music? Stole music.
@blogdiva
JFC 😑
We're incinerating the future of the planet just to generate racism... A thing humanity has never been short of.
That's enough internet for me this evening.
@kingmoth @blogdiva You have _absolutely no fucking idea what you are talking about_, and _absolutely no fucking clue about the history of the music industry in the US_, and the way I know that, for 100% sure, for absolute certain, as someone who has _been in that business as an artist_, is that you said what you just said.
The best thing you could possibly do for yourself is delete that before Liza sees it, walk away, and go do some reading about the history of the music industry in the US.
Because holy shit. Read up some and hopefully you'll come to understand how completely detached from historical reality your statement is.
@blogdiva I think it is also authoritarianism.
The unit of action in that state of mind is ”joy of obedience”, or something. Which is implicit in racism always.
Fpr the authoritarian, the natural order of things is that something ”with more power”, like an AI model, should joyously be celebrated as a good thing, and we should submit because of that power.
It’s a simple mindset, yet it guides so many because evolution preferred survival over justice, so scared people are more.
Fuck**g clankers!🤬
Well actually no! Fuck whoever came with this and made "AI" copy that music.🤬
I hate "AI" in anything and this is "utterly disgusting" and "insult to life" as Hayao Miyazaki once said.
Also - whoever copied Ghibli style should burn in hell for eternity...with everyone who destroys beauty of this world using that shit.
This stuff isn’t “taking over Spotify” etc. because people are seeking it out, it is being algorithmically shoved in their ears by these sleazy corporations.
They 100% control the algorithm, it’s trivial to favor their generated garbage over actual music from an actual artist.
@blogdiva fuck AI. UGH. This is the worst and people just dive in to see it.
I just can’t help but wonder when are we collectively going to realize that this is not good for us. I keep watching the ahit usage being made. The jobs lost. The perpetration of just straight bad ideas or disinformation, name it.
And people keep flocking to it
@blogdiva this is so depressing. Soul music with no soul. Services like Spotify obviously don't care because they make money https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Mark-Disable-AI-Generated-Songs/idc-p/7382376#M347595
I thought the promise of AI / LLMs was to take away the drudgery and let people make art and enjoy leisure.
Cc @mekkaokereke as this feels like the sort of crap he's been warning us about for a long time
