There are things to hate about AI besides the slop it outputs. To name a few: - The training set being mostly art made be real humans without their consent or compensation - The work that is taken away from skilled, talented musicians - The environmental impact of global AI deployments - The further consolidation of power in the hands of the very few who DO have a motive

AI being "fun" for kids who aren't able to grasp the negative externalities of using AI doesn't make it something to admire

> Sloppy humans create sloppy output. The AI is just an amplifier, it has no motive

yes! go tell to teenager kids harmonize by typing and not editing sheet score a > 4 instrument melody without any music theory background or in-ear training

Wow, such failure to learn from the mistakes of the past.

I'm sure you're right that AI augmented workflows can (& do?) produce beautiful works that I would call art... it's just that the overwhelming majority of AI 'art' I experience on the internet is slop.
