The thing is that, like, I don't even care about traditional ethical procedural generated content anymore. All art that's ever existed is fundamentally built on you deciding to respond to its component words and images and interpreting it charitably as something that deserves to have the gaps filled in to make it something that feels real to you—why would I want to grant that kind of grace to machine-generated content even in a harmless context, when it just reminds me of an entire world of people trying to destroy all art as we know it is also trying to take advantage of that kind of grace? I don't even wanna play roguelikes anymore, man. Show me something another person thought would specifically be meaningful, show me nothing but handcrafted moments, I want art to remind me of how beautiful the intentionality of another human's touch can be. That's all I've got grace for right now.

Some people at work recently got really into those music generation sites, and I think I held my composure well by only saying it was soulless shit and not yelling it. Like I don’t even believe in a soul or anything? It was just the fastest way to explain the lack of intentionality, creativity, and the ability to have it connect with another individual in any meaningful way.

Last year I was trying to decide if I wanted to try to get my MM in classical voice or electronic music composition, and I knew that the explosion of generated garbage had to be coming for music soon.

A lot of digital art is very quickly going down the same path for me, 3D stuff specifically. There's a sort of adjacency/overlap with AI that I can't in good conscience ignore + the availability of stuff like Blender only really serving to funnel people into an infamously abusive VFX industry.
