2024...and you gotta ask yourself: "What Is really 'REAL', people?"

[@BlackKingEnt]

nigga i thought these are real tracks

[@bloodtopaz8816]

It's all real, the problem is - it's not in the hand of talent by chance. I mean people spend years developing the skill set to make music. Learning to sing, learning to dance, learning a vibe, learning a instrument. Even with all that skill, a person may never make a hit record, it's all by chance. Right time, right place. AI takes that all away but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. The microwave took away the skill of cooking for example, a refrigerator took away a need to salt meat. A person born today isn't going to ask the question if AI is a bad thing, they are just going to think it's normal. A question I ask is what is good music and does it really matter who or what makes it? For the next 50 years there will still be people making music, after that - who can say. It's too late to condemn this technology, it's here. Now the question needs to be asked, how do I live with it because you can't get away from it now. AI is in the arts, it's in the music and soon it will be in a lot more places.

[@heavydown2582]

@@bloodtopaz8816 Yes! I agree with all you've said. In fact, I just heard word today that 2 record companies have filed lawsuits for the use of their artists work. These lawsuits are gonna increase. Iin a major way.

[@aidan9563]

"real" is whatever you want it to be when pertaining to art. Whoever created this ai version of the song is a greatly talented artist💪

[@birdog23]

I think real is imperfection. Something palpable only a soul can apply: the lack of perfection. It’s subtle, but potent.
