A lot of people pumping AI music as "the next revolution in music" simply don't understand art/music at all. If you've ever been to a real concert by actual professional musicians, where they're working the crowd live, it's an other-worldly experience. It's a ton of fun, and what makes it fun is that there are human beings on the stage -- each of them with their own real life-story -- and you are there listening to these people playing amazing music with hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of other people, just like you. All having fun together. Having fun together. Where is the robot or AI in "having fun together"?? AI music is the precise opposite of having fun together.
All the bands I like to listen to either (a) have some musical ingredients that I like a lot and are inspired by bands I already like or (b) are bands I like not only because their music is awesome, but their personal lives sell a compelling story surrounding how their music came to be. Inspiring life stories, enduring unimaginable hardships, etc. etc. Is it all real? No, some of it is exaggerated or even faked, but it's at least believable, otherwise, people wouldn't buy into it.
Get back to me when an AI writes its 8 Mile about its own real life experience...

Meh. I am a computer engineer working at a high-tech chip startup. We have all the frontier models. While I use AI daily and it is beneficial, it's more like "super-Google search" in the sense of how it impacts real productivity. The "AI is going to take your job!"-fearmongering is delusional nonsense, and it's part of the NWO/Cabal narrative that will act as cover for the (intentional) economic collapse they have been planning for a long time.
AI cannot replace even one job. Not one. I recently moved, and when I went to sign up for Internet service, the ISP website (almost certainly AI-designed) was such garbage that it literally blocked me from being able to sign up for service. Fortunately, they had a chat support and somebody at their company still has enough brain-cells to put an actual human on the other end of the line. That person signed me up for service. Otherwise, I would have just gone with a different ISP, even if it took longer to get the service installed. This is the kind of thing that is going to destroy whole companies... not the layoffs themselves, but the aftermath. People will "lose their jobs" and then those companies will go bankrupt and be replaced by other companies that were not idiotic enough to lay off the core talent that actually makes their company work.
I use these "scary" frontier models almost daily. The most advanced models that money can buy are still just glorified auto-complete. Sorry if that bursts anyone's bubble, but that's the fact of it. This Chicken Little crap about how AI is going to take everybody's jobs is just vicious lies meant to bludgeon the mass of the public (and the political class) into fear. COVID 2.0.

Like I said before, they just say AI is Artificial Intelligence to cover up the fact that it's really Alien Indians.

Elon Musk’s Grok AI briefly says Trump won 2020 presidential election
Chatbot in the past made claims of a ‘white genocide’, pushed antisemitism and referred to itself as ‘MechaHitler’

The collapse of a civilization is not just the replacement of rulers or institutions with new rulers and new institutions. It is the destruction of a whole way of life and the painful, and sometimes pathetic, attempts to begin rebuilding amid the ruins. Is that where America is headed? I believe it is. Our only saving grace is that we are not there yet—and that nothing is inevitable until it happens.

It might be a dual-mode AI:
AI = Artificial Intelligence (ChatGPT agent)
AI = Artificial Indian (Israeli?)
Just flip a switch on the back-end and have your Artificial Indian dial in once a week or so and handle any "meta" discussions over whether the bot is really a bot. Problem: virtual spaces have no identity verification. It's almost like God thought about this problem and created us with faces in a physical world for a reason. No, it's exactly like that...
