Funny how these fake AI "influencers" and "musicians" always seem to come from the right.

They are so devoid of creativity, and are so incapable making anything worthwhile, that they (try to) have AI do it instead.

Pathetic

Creativity that isn't about pushing or punching down goes against the whole purpose of conservatism.

Since you cannot copyright an AI creation, someone should just make him do like a woke anarchist rap or something.

Impossible copyright infringement of the derivative of the stolen generic. Love it.

[–] coalie@piefed.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

It would be better if the woke rap was performed by real musicians but then using this ai's images so they could actually copyright the music.

TLDR?

All I’m seeing is ai music video on ai music.

"I like the music people with souls make, but I'd like the lyrics to be more like the gaping black void that is my heart."

We are getting to the stage where we need laws to say that machines cannot impersonate humans. Synthetic humans are banned.

Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind?

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 hours ago

Yes, I’m sure that will be allowed to happen. Right after “you can’t use everyone’s doorbell camera as a giant worldwide face-tracking panopticon” and “PC components should be affordable enough for anyone to buy instead of having to rent cloud desktops from an AI datacenter”

We are way way WAY more fucked than you think already.

"Meet the AI rapper funded by a far right party"

No... No, I don't think I will.

The irony of a group of frustrated males following the messages of make believe entity.

We've reinvented religion

[–] db2@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Irony? Repeating pattern is more like it.

[–] etherphon@piefed.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

What kind of sad, pathetic, angry people make things like this? I really do pity them. No one is out to get you losers.

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 1 points 2 hours ago

The people making the slop absolutely are.
