    I’m not sure what’s worse. Splitting hairs about new versus previous impossible? Or not understanding how a gotcha works.

    You don’t like what others are doing. I’m not the one dismissing a technology, or demanding we curtail it, or whateverthefuck. I don’t take issue with making music on a computer. Supposedly, neither did you. You held it up as fundamentally better than AI, because new things became possible.

    Did you ever actually care about that?

    Or were you lying?

      I wasn’t the one who initially compared electronic or computer music to AI, that was a different poster. A better comparison is that AI is like a calculator machine, it doesn’t enable anything new, but it speeds up what humans could already do. Someone else commented on me that “the speeding up is already making an impossible possible” which, as you might have noticed, I have not argued against.

      You don’t like what others are doing

      Of course I don’t, because it’s affecting me and people I care about. I didn’t mention the scam willy nilly in a shitty attempt to poison the well, people close to me get bombarded with AI shit trying to scam them. But you simply dismiss this because fuck me, I guess.

      Did you ever actually care about that? Or were you lying?

      About what?

        Picking novelty was all you.

        You haven’t argued against what I replied, either. You pivoted straight to ‘but why would you want that?’ Or sorry, since your exact word choice is oh-so-important: “Yes, anyone can make that now, thanks to AI. But why should they?”

        Because they fucking want to.

        Why do art tools need a reason?

        Oh sorry, people are misusing this science-fiction technology, the machine that effortlessly renders their imagination. Better burn it to the ground, or keep it a secret, or whatever the hell your remedy is. If you’ve even got one. Does this repetitious chin-stroking lead anywhere? What do you want?

        As the other guy said: “every new technology that lowers the barrier of entry gets derided every time. Tale as old as time. Every new technology that enables more of the masses to participate will obviously mean more low quality stuff gets made. That doesnt mean the tool is worthless.” You should be arguing with them, because they nailed your ass before you spoke up!

          “because people want to” is, like I said previously, a shit non-answer, but you’re hellbent on saying it is an answer, so I won’t bother anymore

            “Why should they?” is a shit non-question. You keep repeating it, as if there’s a follow-up, should I happen to say, shucks, maybe they shouldn’t.

            What then?

            What do you want?
