To play devil’s advocate; being on your phone is an isolating activity, while watching the TV is generally more communal, and was especially so in the era in which Boomers have spent most of their life.

Millenials and most Gen Z have shows that everyone watched growing up, but that’s going away increasingly, with on-demand streaming and customized feeds replacing the latter. I think it’s a very obvious culprit of why young people today struggle to talk to one another.

I am Gen Z.

I think that is the most “correct” interpretation of it. Maybe they’re saying that it’s been bent over time.

Actually, there are probably quite a few movies. Honey, I Shrunk the Kids comes to mind.

The Emperor’s New Groove is such a great movie. I actually mentioned watching it to my family a few days ago.

But yeah, cartoon characters in general are a bit of a toss-up, and their ages are hardly ever quite clear. I thought of all the Disney princess movies and decided to specify “live-action” in the title.

If you couldn’t tell, I was like a mid-gen Disney Channel viewer.

Why would that be more effective or clever than saying, “Remember to wash your hair”?

Which is why it’s so strange that minority groups receive such negative discrimination. We’re the shinies.

Sounds like a good excuse to get some good food.

I know how to make a piano sound:

• using an LLM
• starting from a piano recording
• subtractively synthesizing with any software
• additively synthesizing with any software
• or, if I wanted to spend a ridiculous amount of time, literally drawing out waveforms

I can take that sound and arrange it:

• with any DAW software
• by painstakingly arranging them by audio clips
• on paper with traditional Western notation

The point is, the tools an artist uses are just tools for efficiency. The product is (effectively) the same. I am not reliant upon any one piece of the process except for my actual mind and body. If I go deaf, I’m in trouble. I’m not Beethoven.

“Created art using AI” and “let AI generate a piece” are pragmatically different. I’ve used a tool to generate a percussion “sample” by messing with sliders. That tool used AI to form the hits, but there was no LLM attached, and the tool only uses samples it has the rights to (at least so it claims). I’ve used that as an instrument, but I still compose my music. I consider my art to be the composition. Most of my instruments I pull from samples, although I do synthesize my own sometimes.

There can be a novelty to AI generated work, which is what it was in like 2020-2021. That was fine. For example, it would be interesting to see something like “This is the average song of 202X,” where every song of the top 1000 most streamed were combined on several different levels. But now that, in the art world, we have bozos letting it take over the entire creative process save the arduous task of typing out a few words (not to mention very directly stealing other artist’s work) and expecting to be taken seriously, it’s just exhausting.

What you say is true. However, I think you are undermining the role the audience plays in “completing” a work of art. A piece does not have to, nor does it hardly ever, mean the same thing to the artist as it does an observer.
