I'm a weirdo born in 2000 who tries to escape the dull reality of a student by making electronic music. My sounds are made in a wide variety of genres, there's too many for you to count. Hope you'll enjoy it, because I do :)

I dunno man, if someone post something in public, people are entitled to give their opinion.
So I'll just give me mine : AI doesn't have its place in arts. Even if it's for samples that you will edit or simple album covers. It's not about money, it's about the fact that companies found a way to make a profit on struggling people once again, and this time, it's artists.
Of course it's easy, but what's the point to trade easiness for personality? Of course it will take time to draw, make music and stuff... You are expressing a part of yourself, it's what art is all about.
It's harmless fun, yes, but the more you use AI in *your* works, the less they become yours. And so your work lose your personality and become just "edited samples"
You may disagree, or maybe find some truth, I don't know. I thought AI would help me in my writing once, but I regretted using it because I ultimately felt like I was sabotaging my work. I wrote these words for a reason. I wrote this scene for a reason.
It was harmless fun too, but in reality, the thing I was harming was my work.
Also, Newgrounds is pretty anti-AI, so yeah. Different spaces will have different opinions. In the end, it's the same thing again : Big corpo profiting from people's and their customers/users defending them because "it's their choice" or "it's harmless".

That might depend if you consider your art as a way of living. I sorta took music as an escape from reality if that makes sense but it never would be able to help me financially or something. I should also clarify AI can be useful for ripping out samples, not necessarily for just generating crap - makes it easy to obtain some clean samples of a drum loop for example. I often liked to take apart songs in order to recreate them and learn off that, especially when vocals made it more difficult lol. I think it depends how you approach it ultimately. I miss the days of Inferkit where it would like, turn a story you gave it into complete nonsense. In some way, maybe that's the key, I find OLD AI when it was beyond primitive actually hilarious, unlike modern pristine and sterile stuff.
Nonetheless my post wasn't really per se about being some big AI defender because I really am not, more like I simply wanted to just air out anything I had in my system altogether since a long time. My main highlight of this post was that I kept getting hung up by other people's opinions, which well, at the end of the day may still be tied to your response. You're totally cool to think the way you do and I get it, I merely just believe I need to start making stuff for myself once more and grow to like it again. Because like you put it, by focusing on the reception, I kept sabotaging myself and my output. Simple as that. Have a splendid day.
