so i'm at a concert of John Williams tunes, and the hall is large enough to justify a camera to zoom in at the players and a screen to display it. but the problem is in between shots of the orchestra are #AI-generated videos.
so from the very beginning, i was annoyed. not only did this not contribute, but it distracted me from the music. i spent most of the concert thereafter either closing my eyes to avoid getting distracted, or failing to do so and only half paying attention to the music.

but that's not the worst part.
no, the worst part is John Williams's catalogue also includes the soundtrack to Spielberg's Schindler's List.
so i, a Jew, had to sit through AI images of the Holocaust.
i legitimately almost got up and left.

imagine being so full of your prompt master geniusness that you ask the AI to depict you scenes OF THE HOLOCAUST.
imagine being an executive that cares so little about the quality of the product that you approve AI generated videos OF THE HOLOCAUST.

right before introducing the soloist of the tune, the conductor mentioned how when approached to make Schindler's List, both Spielberg and Williams thought they're not good enough for such a serious job.
but i'll tell you who did think they're good enough - the person who asked the AI to create background videos OF THE HOLOCAUST

#GenAI is just making all the bad behaviours of humans worse.

I don't usually brag about expensive trips, but I just got back from the pharmacy so..
