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.

And this ignorant "how come ai music is so good? It raises questions about art as human expression" is infuriating!
How come it sounds good? Maybe because it's all made out of good, real music from real, good Black musicians that got stolen on an unimaginable scale to be fed into the slop machine, without consent, credits and compensation?! And now what comes out of the slop machine sounds a lot like the stolen music that has been put in there?! Surprise?!
No, dude, we do absolutely NOT need to have a bullshit discussion soaked in naive awe about whether the magical machine could be truly creative and "an artist". The answer is no it can't. No it won't. It's just plagiarizing out of more stolen sources at a time than a human plagiarizer could.
Comparing this to real music is insulting. Adding that insult to the stealing from and harming Black artists.
