Exactly this, thank you!

I'm a mostly life-long musician of multyple instruments. I see AI as a means to either aid me and push my creative abilities to new found hights working in a cymbiotic relationship with the tech, or simply inspiring me to make newer and cooler stuff. I'm not threatened by it in the slightest.

AI has given me visual art back as I haven't been able to see good enough to draw in years. I can now make the pictures that I see in my mind, which gives me another creative outlet for things, including saving me a grip of money on album cover art designs.

Are there bad use cases for AI? Absolutely, but there's bad use cases for hammers, knives or guns too.

If one uses the tech responseably and senseably, they can get a lot out of it if they're willing to give it a shot, especially for those of us who have different disabilities like blindness and the like.

But people see automation and they turn hate before they even think about it for two seconds. People see datasets built and compiled on "stollen" assets and they think theft.

You know, if someone asked me to draw them a picture of something in the style of [insert whoever's name here], I'd probably go look up that person's art just to see what it looked like before trying to make that picture.

If someone asked me to write a musical piece in the style of Tool, I'm going to throw myself in that Tool mindframe and lean into all the stylistic themes they use in their music.

How the fuck is that any different than coaching AI?

I'm all for people having a choice to have their stuff in datasets or not. I get it. But jesus dudes, we learn in very similar ways to AI.

Am I supposed to pay the creators of something everytime I make a guitar track in the style of whoever they are because god forbid I don't pay them or give them credit.

There comes a point when people get too ridiculous about themselves.

Pandora's box is open and it ain't closing anytime soon. Make good with AI yall because it's not going anywhere.

It shouldn't be abused for malicious purposes, but there's always going to be those out there who do so anyways, just like hammers and knives and guns. But there are those of us out there who see this as a golden oprotunity to push ourselves past our previous boundaries. And isn't that what evolution is in the end?
