At this point, I treat Adobe like malware on my personal systems.
Enshittification seems to be accelerating.
they said, linking to an LLM-generated song
Pretty fun dumb thing to play with. Use it to entertain friends and impress ~~Luddites~~ tech-illiterate boomers like my Dad.
Occasionally someone is able to manually finesse it into making it do something actually cool.
Edit : To be clear, I support artists and do NOT support the replacement of genuine and meaningful art created by individual minds.
At the same time, I also would pay to watch a live real human choir + orchestra performance of that “Newton’s Genius” song if someone put that LLM song to sheet music.
luddites weren't anti technology, they were pro workers rights. they would find gpt style ai offensive.
~~I would argue that in their pursuit of worker rights they sought to prevent progress rather than supporting using the means of progress to lighten their own workload and then fight to receive the benefit that such machinery could provide.~~
Reading more on them via this article, so Luddite is the wrong term. Maybe I was trying to use that term instead of just saying "impressing a tech-ignorant boomer like my dad."
I’m for worker rights as well, but I don’t think that means we should go back to the dark ages for production.
I just think that the bosses shouldn’t get all the money from the robot savings, while everyone else works their asses off for no additional benefit.
Sort of like how I can use a dumb “AI” music tool thing to share jokes with friends and dumb meme posts, but at the same time also think that Columbia records or whatever music corp or Ticketmaster should NOT be able to gouge the prices for concerts and then on top of that, not pass the increased profit to the actual artists.
The article you linked is much more detailed than the one I read, so this interaction has benefited both of us.
Gotta love mutual aid! 🫡 thanks for providing me the incentive to learn more as well.
I dunno, luddites like me aren't impressed at it. We're rolling our eyes at it.
No worries. It’s not for everyone.
I’m hoping the dumb songs that I have that company fart out for free as jokes supporting Lemmy comments, or as backing tracks for clips of my friends and I playing Fortnite that I share just amongst our group of 10 people won’t somehow upend and displace the countless artists whose works I’ve supported over the decades via concert ticket purchases, royalties via movie soundtrack licensing, and buying official merchandise.
Yup, I don't have any Adobe software on any of my systems, and I intend to keep it that way.
