Real musicians play real instruments, not synthesizers

Real musicians play real instruments, not samples

Real musicians play real instruments, not AI-generated slop

All of the above is bullshit y’all

Real musicians play with anything they want.

Bandcamp’s first policy will become an enforcement nightmare in the short term and irrelevant the long term.

I’m still waiting for someone to create something really good with AI - meaningful, impactful, emotionally gripping - not just novelties. Same problem as AI text slop - by the nature of its training, it regresses to the mean

Also: how much time/effort/money one spends creating art is unrelated to quality. Spending 40 hours recording and producing a mediocre song does not make it “better” than a mediocre song generated in a few seconds by AI or any other tool
