It takes me months before I find a new song I absolutely love and keep on infinite loop repeat for days.

As far as I'm concerned we're content scarce and I don't care what makes the music - humans, robots, netherworld demons - I just want good music.

Movies are the same way. I find a magical film maybe every three years or so. There are lots of good films. Some fantastic films. Very few brain melding moments of nirvana.

(Actually, most films are slop. There are some good films, fewer great films, next to negligible numbers of stories that speak directly to the soul.)

I want perfection. We're not making enough or experimenting enough. AI helps us do more weird stuff and explore more state space sensory and conceptual territory.

I wish this stuff had come twenty years earlier.

In a few years, we'll be making more every year than all of recorded history to date. And that's going to be amazing.

Presumably you've already listened to every piece of music ever recorded? Otherwise it seems it would be more efficient to do that first than wait for AI to generate it and you chancing upon it.

All good finds are chanced upon. Just now sometimes it's made by AI.

I'm so tired of this anti ai malaise.

There's nothing wrong with machine tools.

We're machines too.

		You’re not a machine. I’m also tired of hearing that ontological take spouted by AI enthusiasts.

		If you're just a machine, can I unplug you?

		Oh that's what you're banging on about. You think AI is like a demon, or you think LLMs are people too, something like that, hence "I don't care what makes the music". That would otherwise be a spooky and implausible phrase that says something strange about what gives music quality, as if quality in music is something ethereal and mathematical and objective and detached from the human condition, and detached from artists. But if you think the AI counts as a person too then it seems less cold and abstract.
